I assembled this by myself on a Saturday evening, it took probably about 2 hours total. The packages were clearly labeled with stickers and sorted with the necessary parts which made it much easier to assemble than most other furniture Ive had to put together in the past. The hardest part was fitting all the round bars in the holes before being able to screw the bottom platforms together. I waited a month to post a review so I could double check that all the bolts were still as tight as when I put it together and they are, no slippage in the hold. We got the heavy duty bunks so we didnt have to worry about a larger teen or adult sleeping on the bottom bunk and its been holding up great. (if the mattress weighs 40 lbs and you have a 20 lb weighted blanket, suddenly a teen who weighs 140 lbs is pushing a 200 lb weight limit for the regular beds. under bed storage is sufficent for small boxes or tubs. Definitely pleased I made this purchase.
This was the right choice
