This thing is amazing. Our 2.5 year old calls it his treehouse bed, and the transition out of his crib was so easy since he looked forward to it so much. My husband put this together by himself and didn't complain about any difficulty. The mattresses will have to be slid in through the sides so make sure the room you're putting it in has the space to do so. If not, you'll have to pop them in before the roof is on. We replaced our carpet after building this and it was movable just by two men lifting it, mattresses and all. There is definitely a chemical smell, as does any furniture have after being coated with a finish coat, so we aired it out of the boxes on the porch for a couple days before bringing it inside. It helped immensely.
AWESOME bunk bed, takes effort to build
