I was hesitant on this purchase but I got it anyway and surprisingly Im not completely disappointed. I will say the biggest complaints that my daughters and I have is the ladder. They are round not flat and kill your feet so we are trying to think of ways to make it more comfortable for her. Probably wouldnt bother a younger child but for my teen who sleeps on the top bunk she dreads climbing up. Secondly, the support beams/slats whatever you want to call them are cheap and bend easily. For added protection I purchased a bunkie board because she was afraid that she was going to fall through and hurt her sister. That has helped but of course created another problem it raised the mattress up higher.
Update (7/31/20)
My teens love it!! Its sturdy, no squeaks and it doesnt shake!! Of course the ladder is still a big problem so she climbs up wearing her slippers that have a nice sole until we can come up with a solution that isnt tacky. Even though the mattress on the top was larger than recommended and was raised with the additional bunkie board she has not fallen off and has no fear of falling either which is a blessing. Obviously, if she was younger I wouldve bought a smaller mattress.
Put 2 pictures up because theres no damage my daughter just decided to hang lights Fit well,
Ladder is horrible but otherwise we love it!!
