The final result of this bed is an A+. But getting there was difficult. The instructions are terrible and there are a million parts. The UP side and the Down sides are not marked nor are the Ladder and non/ladder sides. So, we did make some mistakes in the assembly. At the end it was all put together and we realized we put an H bar on upside down but it was too late and we werent about to disassemble the whole thing. Luckily, we have a friend with power tools who showed up to drill a hole so we could anchor the last part of the ladder. So, in the end, an all/day effort with some frustrating mistakes due to poor instructions still resulted in a satisfaction. The bed is sturdy and perfect for a boys room. I dont know that well ever turn them into two twins but the flexibility to do so is what sold me on this particular bed.
End result great! Getting there a pain.
