I was disappointed that the colour of the bed that I received was not the same as shown in the pictures.  They show a stark black/white type of grey but in reality it was more of a brown toned grey.  Also, the ladder on mine touches the floor.  Minor problem but I really liked the look of the short ladder in the picture.  Please note that the brackets for the center rail of the bottom bed did not have holes predrilled so make sure that you measure carefully.  The bed does feel sturdy once put together.  I bought some 8.5 inch thick foam mattresses and they fit perfectly.
