We bought these for our two sons, 13 and 9, for Christmas. I researched and read reviews for days before I purchased these bunk beds. These beds are beautiful and sturdy. I will agree with some of the reviews that the instructions are not clear, and you have to use common sense to put these together. It took my husband and I about 4 hours to assemble them. It really only took a screwdriver and the included Allen wrench to put it together. It was easy to move the staircase to either end of the bed. The beds will easily convert to two twin beds since you have to put the top bunk together and then lift that bed onto the bottom bunk. It is secured in place by a large dowel and screws at each corner. The drawers are lined up perfectly and slide easily both at the end of the staircase and under the beds. I love the wide staircase rather than a ladder. The steps are plenty big for their feet and they have a place to hold on as they are coming down the steps.
I will update this review if anything comes to light, or if my boys have anything to add.
