Good Products. ThanksThe directions were easy to follow. I think it took 3-3.5 hours to assemble, but it wasn’t a frustrating 3 hours. The trundle isn’t attached to the main bed, so it doesn’t pull out smoothly but honestly, it means my kid cannot do it himself and that’s a positive (ha!) It’s sturdy and my kid loves it!The bed is nice and about what I expected, but I was a little disappointed that some of the pieces came with the paint rubbed off. Hopefully a stain pen will do the job. Also was missing some of the wooden pegs that were needed to put the bed together, but we were able to get extras at lowes.I'll start off by saying that we came here to purchase this frame after months of waiting for another frame to become available (shipping issues). I'll say that the frame is much more lightweight than I was expecting, but the pieces seem sturdy. Maybe not solid wood sturdy...but honestly who makes furniture like that anymore (which sucks). I build this on my own and did not need a second person to help for any of the steps.. These instructions were pretty easy to follow and well marked. My only note would be to those building this frame in a small room (like I did). When it comes to building to trundle, note that you're building it from back to front so position yourself so that you don't have to then flip it once it's build like I did. My other note would be for those with hardwood floors. The trundle bed doesn't have a stopper so it moves around and it doesn't stay flush with the face of of frame.. I'm thinking of putting some sort of stopper between the "end" if the trundle and the wall so that it's always flush with the frame and it looks like the pictures. Other than that, we'll see how it holds up with my crazy child.Bought this bed for my two girls and it’s beautiful finished product except for I had two broken pieces and did not realize until everything was almost put together and had to cover the front with white molding clay to keep it looking the same after everything was complete. The only other thing I was not too happy with the sturdiness of the slats feel like may not hold up really wellOur kids love these beds. We bought two and they have doubled our sleepover space. We put the foam mattresses on them and I honestly think I am going to trade beds.There are 2 boxes and everything is well packed. The longer box had some damage but luckily it has great protection inside that didn't cause any damage to the wood.The bed is 95% painted wood. Only the front drawers seem to be made of pressed cardboard, therefore there may be some inperfections as seen in my pictures which do not bother me.Assembly wasn't bad but took me 3 hours part because the room is tight and part being lazy since I did it at night.The instructions were clear and well written. I did not see the Allan Key at first but any Ikea Allen key works and I prefer the one pictured. Make sure you don't overtighten the bolts as noted on the instructions if you use power tools. I used them to screw in the long bolts and finished with a screwdriver.The hardest part is putting the drawers together by yourself. It requires screwing small screws where there's no predrilling and impossible by hand while holding 2 pieces of wood. I had an impact driver which helped. If doing it by hand you need someone to help you.Only 1 part was defective and took about 20 minutes to screw it down. This was one of the drawer guides (1 of 3). The hole was drilled lower not ending straight into the bolt hole causing the collar to turn when the bolt tip touched it and drove me up the walls for 20 minutes.When placing the drawers in, there's no mention but they are meant to be hard to push in, because the nubs prevent them from coming out when you open them. LaterWere happy with the bed. We chose this one because of price and we liked the drawers and head/footboards. We used our old ikea mattress for the bottom bed and got a regular twin mattress for the top.Screws everywhere not shown on their photo.And how can you even return such a huge piece after assembly :( There is definitely a better one for this price.
