The box was VERY heavy, and awkward to carry. Like a blessing, two buff men appeared out of thin air when my neighbor and I were trying to carry it and moved it inside for us.
My sister offered to throw this together for me while I finished moving in, and gosh, it took around 5-6 hours total. Save your time if you can and have someone build it while you do your own thing...
Overall, it's a great frame. It's a little wobbly when trying to climb up, but I assume that's just a thing with all loft beds. It came with a wall stabilizer, which I can't use since I live in a rental unit, so chances are that does work out pretty well.
I originally thought the frame itself was made of wood, but I was wrong. In fact, the only wood is what is used for the desk and corner shelves, and the basket on the end is actually foldable and only has a wood print on it. The metal squeaks a little bit after a few months which does get kind of annoying, but nothing some oil can't fix.
