This is a high quality bunk bed at a great price. The instructions were mostly pretty clear but I did end up having to make two alterations/corrections.
My first error was the orientation of the drill hole guides on the headboard which holds the perpendicular support beam for the bed slats. I used a tape measure to transfer the hole locations on the other side.
My second error was the bottom bolt holes that hold the ladder in place ended up being on the opposite side after lifting the bed onto the other by myself. Didn’t want to do that again so I simply drilled new holes and countersunk them for the bolts.
My one issue I did encounter, not of my own doing, was with securing the ladder to the top bunk. To do so I had to unscrew the slats that were in the way of the bolt holes, a minor annoyance, but an annoyance none the less.
Lastly I have doubts about the structural strength of the top bunks guardrail attachment located next to the ladder. It has a wiggle to it and although I have told my children not to use it to pull themselves up onto the top bunk but kids will be kids. I will end up securing the rail on the other side for more...

At first, I want to emphasize that my two children and I love this bunk bed so much.
Have better need two people to cooperate, one for installation , the other one for holding them together. It takes four hours to finish it, thus be patient please. You need some one who can use electric screw diver well. This is my husband first time install the bunk bed, but he often helps others to install metal platform bed frame. This bunk bed have a very good looking, I really like this color and painting so much. I want to emphasize that the painting with no any bad smell, it is very good for health. In addition, I still have something very important to emphasize, cause by the bed slate. The bed slate (with no painting they are made of natural wood )always keep volatilizing at beginning 20 days. I can’t remember how many bed slates for total. I think it is about 20 pieces. The number of 20 bed slates means will have much more natural smell keep volatilizing. It is natural smell, thus it is nontoxic. Like flowers, many people like it, but many people have allergy to it. My nose have allergy to it. My both children are fine. I suggest you could buy it in early...

Ohio GuyOhio Guy: I'd readily spend $100 more plus $30 shipping if they prebuilt the headboards, and slats on this bunk bed. It took me 4 hours to unpack and build the unit. I was able to build it by myself. The tolerances on some of the pocket holes for the barrel nut/bolt assemblies was not up to modern standards. I ended up drilling two of them out for better alignment and accidentally drilled through the one frame rail.
Dorel needs to hire an IKEA industrial designer or engineer to show them how knocked down furniture should be designed and assembled.
Amazon fell down by only shipping one box (box 1 of 2), then making me return that box so they could ship me the proper two boxes. The boxes weigh a ton, maybe that's why box 2 didn't show up the first time. Amazon did process my return and deliver the second bed box set in a rapid manner, and they picked up my return promptly - I just had to leave it on the front porch and be home when they picked it up. Not too much hassle.
The bed looks great. It's huge. I should have maybe gotten the twin instead of full, as the bed fills the room and the ceiling fan is really close to the upper bunk - I need a bigger...
