My 2 year old LOVES this bed. It was a little dinged up but furniture around a kid is always going to get dinged so not upset about the slight imperfections. It is very dark brown and only requires an Alan key and Phillips screw driver to assemble, I easily assembled this by myself. The bed slats and ladder steps are both vertical, I actually like this idea because it can withstand more pressure. The steps on the ladder are a little further back than I would like but my son has no issues going up and down. It is very sturdy and spacious, I was afraid it would be too small and unstable for me to lay in bed and read stories with him but proves to hold both our weights with plenty of room. We made under the bed a reading area and he just adores it! We used a 6 mattress as recommended but used a foam mattress instead of the suggested spring mattress. The mattress does not budge or show any signs of falling through the slats even with both of us on it. Great for small spaces.
Love it!
