It took 3.5 hours to put together, the most tedious part is the brackets that require screws and bolts. Easy to figure out and put together. My 4 year old is literally OBSESSED with this bed. He has autism and loves spaces to hide and get away. We chose not to add the drawer in as we wanted to put his nugget couch under there and it wouldnt have fit with the drawer. Looks just fine and is stable without it, our nugget fit literally perfect under it, made for the best comfy hangout cave! I added led strip lights under there as well because its quite dark. Looks awesome will definitely be buying another when my little girl is ready for a big bed! I purchased the lucid 6 gel mattress for this as well and it fits perfectly, it left a good amount of railing space so no accidents rolling out of bed! My only complaint is the ladder is very upright and doesnt actually touch the floor it just kind of hovers there.
Fantastic sturdy bed!
