My 5 year old son absolutely LOVES this bed! He tells everybody, including the check out lady at the supermarket about his two beds! I love the subtle design in the headboard and footboard and the clean lines of the entire bed. I could do without so many bolt/screw holes that you can see just looking at it but its a small price to pay for such a great set of beds. Its very sturdy and well made, I dont worry about my son sleeping on the top bunk at all. The lower bunk is very short, as I have read in many other beds even before making my purchase, but I wasnt planning on sleeping in it anyway and it is the perfect size for kids. We have small rooms so I didnt want a larger profile bunk bed, this almost mini version is just what we needed! My husband plans to do something to cover the holes as well so they are less noticable. The areas where the pieces will stay together for the duration he used glue and the bolts to ensure their durability but Im not even sure that was necessary. We just read that one reviewer said they werent very sturdy so we took the extra precaution. We love that we can take them apart in the future for 2 separate beds or keep them together. Very happy with this purchase!
Perfect for our needs
