It takes longer than 30 minutes even with a handy person. However the money and effort are certainly worth it. I gave 3 stars sturdiness because even after assembly it squeaked a little and my 13 year old son hasnt even been on it. However again, I only expect it to last 1.5-2 years until I pay more for a bed for a 15 year old. Overall I say 3.5 and worth it. If you have a child under 13 this is perfect. Age 8-15.
Money and effort a 3-4 star
