First, this came in two long HUGE, and very HEAVY boxes. They were left leaning against the side of my house, and I had a struggle getting it inside by myself, even though it was only four feet from my door. I probably wouldnt have succeeded if my teenage sons hadnt arrived to help me get it in through the doorway.
That aside, it was packaged very well. My husband didnt have too hard of a time putting it together. As others have reported, the welds arent pretty, but they seemed solid enough. You arent going to get pretty welds on a cheap bunk bed. I think I paid around 129 for it, which I think was a steal. Thats how much this type of bunk bed goes for used on craigslist, all scratched up and dented. I think mine arrived in excellent condition.
It seems to be holding up well, although this bed is for my daughters, so its not receiving the beating that the boys bunk bed is, LOL. I find it to be just as stable as any other tube metal bunk bed. That type always shakes just a little bit, but not bad at all. As long as your kids arent unsupervised hooligans that are allowed to trash their bedrooms (LOL), I think this bed will hold up fine without any problems.
That said, this is an inexpensive bunkbed and I gave it a 5 star rating based on that category. I would rate it lower if comparing it to a super sturdy, expensive bunkbed. Good one.
Great value for the price.
