Easy enough to assemble but expect some damaged parts.
The bed itself is fine for a child, it seems sturdy enough as long as they arent jumping on it. It does make a lot of noise with the bars chattering when they are climbing on it or shifting around. I climbed on it to check the mattress out and it held me at 200 lbs (probably more than whats recommended) with my daughter who is 60 lbs and it held as it should. So I would feel fine with one or two kids up there.
It went together easy enough, but a couple of the steps require you to go back and loosen up the previous work so you can fit the parts together. Not a big deal, but it would save you a little bit of time if you put it all together loosely and then tighten everything down at the same time at the very end. (This is how you are supposed to assemble things, but I was in a rush).
The bed had several dents in it when received. The box had some damage at the end, but the dents were in the middle of the pieces, and there was one bent bar. I bent the bar back with no damage, and theres not much you can do about the dents. Im not taking the whole thing back apart to try and pack it back up to return it, so well just live with it the way it is. I believe the dents are just poor QC from manufacturing or that it was packed kinda poorly in the box and parts were just banging into each other.
