When we ordered this bed in white the brown was nearly 2x the price and then when the white was back in stock the price was significantly higher than what we paid. Keep checking.
This took about 90 minutes to assemble and I had the help of a 10 and almost 12 year old. It would be impossible with only 1 person so get some assistance. I also used a power drill but be very cautious on the torque setting as you want to tighten, not drill the screws into the wood. Wood is very soft and could be easily damaged/cracked it over tightened. Like other reviews I went ahead and purchased 1/4 washers and 1/4 lock washers to use on all the bolts on the frame to add rigidity. Again, watch your torque settings if using a drill. I think this was 32 of each lock/regular washers. I did not use on the ladder as the rungs seem tight enough without.
We add a small side shelf (found on ) to hold clock and phone charger. Its been one night but daughter really likes it so far. She did say it was a little hotter but now she understands that hot air rises. We did have to replace ceiling fan with a flush mount light as this bed is too high but not too high she cannot sit up in bed.
Great option if you are looking to add space to a room and upgrade to a full size bed.
Nice bed, prices varied almost daily
