This bed is exactly what we were looking for. Very easy to assemble with 2 people. Could have been done with one but it just would have taken longer. It seems very sturdy and is holding up well to mu 5 year olds current climbing phase. I love that the ladder can be removed easily for making the bed or keeping toddlers from climbing. We chose 8”  Tuft & Needle mattresses for both bunks and they work well with this bed. Shipping was fast and it arrived a week earlier than the original delivery date given. In fact I ordered on a Sunday and it arrived the following Friday. I’m not entirely certain why the name of this item is listed as Skak by Harriet Bee, but what arrived is the Easton bed by Powell Kids, in case you want to read other reviews. My daughter couldn’t be happier with her new bed and we are, too.
