This bed was hard to assemble. Definitely need 2 people or more to hold all pieces together in the process of putting the bed together however I would not recommend anyone buy this.
Im going to include some assembly tips below because there were a couple of steps that were very tricky. Definitely a brain teaser puzzle! Other reviewers were a helpful heads up. Overall a solid, modern bunk bed with good weight limits. Its hard to find low profile bunks that arent for little kids. This totally fits the bill. We needed it for a cabin bunk room with lower ceilings. The ladder placement is very solid. The mattress slats/bars make a lot of noise during assembly but once mattresses were in place it was fine.
This took two capable adults 2.5 hours to assemble. Now that I understand a couple of things it would probably shave off 45 min! You cannot do this alone. Its not humanly possible. Tips for two tricky steps:
1. Assembly for the mattress slats is poorly planned. Only two bars per mattress frame screw into place. The rest are a game of pick up sticks. The twin (top) is harder than the bottom (full). We ended up placing a board underneath so the cross bars could be elevated and we could put the sides into position. Screw in both stationary cross bars first on one side only. Place that side against a wall. Put the board down and then place your cross bars. You have to very carefully align the other railing or everything will fall out. For the bottom, you dont need a board underneath. Same start but for the other railing lay it on its side and set the bars on top of the holes. Slowly in tandem rotate the rail into position. This step takes a lot of patience.
2. For the big assembly step, which has one illustration, assemble on its back side. Place the side rails on the back (long flat edge on the floor, curved edge facing the ceiling). When putting the bottom mattress frame into place, be sure that the screw holes for the ladder are lined up in the right place. Screw parts into place but dont over tighten them. Once assembled, carefully flip upright. Since its a low bunk bed youll have ceiling clearance. Once upright, realign and tighten screws.
Also the plastic caps for the tube ends are loose and dont stay in place so will be glueing them. Im pleased with my purchase.
I am 16 and my best friend is 14. She stays at my house a lot so we got bunk beds last year. The other night one of the bars bent and popper out of the holes for the top bunk, other than that it has held my weight and as someone who is plus sized, its hard to find beds that feel sturdy and other. There is a slight wiggle when I climb onto the top bunk but it is much better that the bunk bed I bought in the past. Really nice looking furniture.
It uses machine bolts for assembly and they all take the same size wrench which is nice. The directions are only pictures so you have to pay close attention. I assembled the ends on the wrong sides as I couldnt tell from the pictures which was which and it wasnt apparent until the 2nd to last assembly piece. It takes 2 people to get the top piece installed on the frame unless you have a way of suspending it while you line up the bolts and get them started. Other than that it was pretty easy to assemble by myself. It is very sturdy. Good product and definitely a value of a purchase.

A little weak but still love it.

Very sturdy for teenagers
I liked the way the ladder was for the older teenagers and the quality seems very sturdy for them. Happy with purchase
