I purchased this bunk bed about a year ago, almost anyways. I read the prior reviews and still made the decision to purchase. I do not like the giant sticker on the front headboard rail. They could have done something else. But this bed is for children so hey safety first always right. Trust me no parent will miss this warning. Goo Gone will take it off. Or just cover with a body pillow. The stairs do hurt, they are thin rails and the height to go up is kinda short so the immediate weight you put on is what makes it hurt. I covered with grip tape to help cushion. Now the assembly. Oh my, I was in tears only because it took troubleshooting to realize the VERY BEGINNING of the instructions is WRONG! The steps are switched. I wish I had them in front of me to really remember. But I can tell you if you get to a point to where you have to find a mallet or hammer to beat in THAT IS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS! You never have to do that in assembly, its because the steps were switched. Other than that, no squicking issues. Fun Fort room underneath. I ordered the Pink. Works well.
