My 13 and 9 year old girls love this and the extra space on the bottom is a real plus for my 13 year old. No squeaks and my 13 year old (who is 53) can sit up on the bottom bunk even with an 8 inch mattress.
Took a little longer than advertised to put together, but I did it by myself. Word to the wise, follow the instructions and dont tighten things too tight at first or you will not be able to get guard rails and other things on. Youll have to loose things up again and redo you work. And trust me your fingers will be tired from all the tightening. You dont need to add to it.
Only two cons I can tell thus far are:
1. Now that it is up, moving it to another room (or new house) might be a real pain or next to impossible the way it is put together. Be interested in other peoples opinions on this.
2. It is super solid front to back. Less so side to side. So that when my youngest goes up the ladder its impossible to not shake the bed a little. Not terrible or a deal breaker. But it is not as stiff as I would like (completely rigid) or as another wooden bunk bed we have had in the past.
Cant beat the price. Works great.
