Picked this bed up for my 8 year old son last year (Christmas 2018) - He is still using the bed a year later and generally no complaints. It was easy to assemble, and has held up well to the wear, tear, and abuse of an 8 year old, his younger 6 year old brother, and his friends. My wife initially was concerned because its a bunk bed, however that wore of pretty quickly. My one relatively minor complaint is when I, as a 40s aged dad, need to get onto the top bunk to put on a new mattress sheet, I can feel the center of gravity of the whole thing start to think about tilting. I am around 200 lbs so for the kids it is definitely not an issue, however Id be leery of, say, 4 active boys having a slumber party all horsing around up there without reinforcing this to the wall, but thats maybe an extreme case. For the cost, and material quality, its held up just fine. We will keep this bed for a few more years for sure.
