I live with my in-laws and my 3 kids share a room. As my son no longer fits in a toddler bed, it was time to get something different. They also wanted more room to play in their room instead of everywhere else, so this was purchased.
I admit, price was a big factor in my decision to buy this, but it is a sturdy set of beds! It took my father-in-law and I maybe 6 hours altogether over the course of a few days to actually assemble, not counting the disassembly of the old beds and cleanup/rearranging of the bedroom. Either of us probably could have done it solo (hes 60, Im a rather weak mom), but the extra set of hands helped with balancing things and saved time. I did end up annoyed about a third of the way through and dug out the power screwdriver with allen head, so that saved a bunch of time and tired hands.
My kids have climbed all over the thing, my son has fallen down the ladder (we TOLD him not to climb down backwards!), my eldest cant put on a fitted sheet to save her life, the bottom bunk is now a cave with a blanket hanging from above, they all love their new beds and I think it will last a good long time.
Sturdy, didnt take as long as I thought
