Overall very happy with my purchase! It took three adults to assemble it, mostly because it was late and we were tired. The directions are rotten and the illustrations vague. We ended up having to redo a few steps because we had missed a detail that affected a later step. I guess we could have avoided that to an extent if wed read through everything first to get a better idea of the steps. But my dad commented that the design is really good engineering and keeps the bed sturdy. Unfortunately, because it is metal, it definitely makes noise and has a bit of a wobble even when assembled just right. But I definitely dont have any concerns about the safety of the beds. My biggest gripe is that the top bunk is the same length as the bottom, but it only accommodates a full mattress while the bottom accommodates a queen. This leaves a gap at the head and foot of the top bunk. We remedied that by wedging a large body pillow at the head of the bed. Works great!
So, in conclusion, I have a few points of contention, but overall, were pretty satisfied.
A good choice for older kids in a small room
