I'm more than capable when it comes to building but this sucker it a project. I had no issues with parts, they were all in the box. I suggest you put all the items as shown in the directions and keep bolts and screws VERY loose throughout the entire build. No real machining problems with holes, matched up better than expected so long as everything bolt is kept loose/flexible. You Need a very large space to put this together, steps where not all that hard, but are not the greatest quality, didn't line up perfect but it's for kids and there going to be abused anyway. Made a bonehead mistake trying to force a few of the clips for the bed support poles, they fit perfect flipped one way not any other, easy to see on quick inspection .
good product, big project
