my girls are 5 and i was really nervous about getting these beds because they are tall and sometimes kids aren't careful. these beds are amazing and so incredibly sturdy. i shopped around for about 6 months before picking these. plus we just hang up a sheet and they use the bottom for a fort. eventually im going to put dressers under it but there will be plenty of room for playing still. i very much recommend these to anyone who has an child 4+.  my husband and i built both of them in about 4 hours which is really good. we did take our time just to make sure we did it right.
