I have a lot of anxiety and didnt want a typically sized (in height) bunk bed. This one fit the bill very well.
We actually have two of these. We have 4 boys, ages 9, 6, 4, and almost 3. My husband did most of the work, and messed up one of the pieces (the ladder piece) on both bunks (we set them up at two different times, actually three), and my husband had to go back and disassemble the bunks a bit to fix it.
Two other negatives to mention:
one of the bunk beds makes a loud clunking noise when one of my sons rolls over (on the top). It sounds like rattling. Not sure where the problem lies. It doesnt seem to wake anyone, but it bugs me.
The other negative is that the railing of the top bunk covers the light switch perfectly, so its a struggle to turn the light off without pulling out the bunk bed slightly (the bedroom isnt very big anyway, but just something to note).
Some positives:
My almost 3 year old has fallen from the ladder a few times and no major injuries, no need for stitches. Just bumps and bruises.
My 9yo and 6yo both sleep well on their top beds. The 4 year old and almost 3 year old usually end up with Mom and Dad. I dont think this has anything to do with the bed itself though.
Overall, a good purchase. Would recommend to a friend, but tell them about the rattling.
Perfect starter bunk bed
