This is a very sturdy product and I put up with no problems as a single woman...just use walls to help support it. The paint scent for newness dissipated quickly and the only thing I had a concern with initially was which direction the headboard went. We LOVE this! And the ladder can go on either side. I would recommend getting a foam pad or something to give a little more cushion for the mattress or like a mattress topper. We ordered a great mattress but she still said it felt uncomfortable. Not sure if that was due to mattress itself or that she felt the bars (55lbs) but she loves it now that we have the foam padding on top.
We Love this bed!
