The product is good for the value. The bed and adjacent stairs are very sturdy. The bottom of the drawer is the flimsiest of the product and is not built on a track (which is actually a positive; less assembling, and one less thing that can malfunction later). The instructions are average at best. Towards the end and especially with drawer assembly, you must heavily rely on the pictures. One opportunity for improvement for the company is to include adhesive non/skid strips for the stairs and to indicate direction of parts (i.e. facing stairs, or facing outward vs inward) either on the piece or in the directions. Also, avoid printing on the pieces, only on the wooden ends, as with most of the parts. Another good idea would be to provide backing similar to the under stair storage, to go under the top bunk to cover the rails/rungs. A sturdier drawer bottom would be better. Overall, very happy with the product! Pro tip: This project is exorbitantly easier to assemble with a drill! I could not imagine doing without. Invest in one, if you can! I was so excited to use it
Pleased with my purchase!
