Assembly was done in 3 hrs. No parts missing. Instructions were easy to follow. Very sturdy construction.The description indicates 400 pound weight...be sure to include the weight of the mattress. ( Note: certain mattresses may need slats that are spaced closer together) I contacted the company to ask if our 15 year old grandson, who weighs 140 pounds could sleep safely on the top bunk. They advise upgrading the slats to a set that are spaced closer together. I believe the company sells them for an additional $80. The bed slats that comes with the bed are spaced 9 inches apart with a metal support bar that runs perpendicular down the center of the slats. I decided to wait and upgrade the slats if necessary. It seems to me the original slats would be sufficient when SLEEPING as the weight is evenly distributed over the area but it may be wise to upgrade the slats if used when sitting on the bed where the body weight is over a small area.
