The reason I gave this 3 stars and not higher is due to difficulty of putting it together. All the parts where labeled and the instructions were clear, but they dont fit like they should. You basically have to plan a days worth of time and make sure you have a helper. It took both myself and my husband to put the bed together. As I said that parts dont fit like you think. You can not tighten the bolts until you are completely done, or you wont be able to put the supports in for the stairs. Make sure you build the bed where you want it because you arent going to be able to move it very far. And you arent going to want to take it apart to move it either do to the amount of time it takes to put it together. Once the bed was together my son was in heaven. We also bought the Fire House tent to go with it. So once you get get over the hassle of putting it together its a great bed.
