I got this frame because of the great price and the fact that the next available frame in line was a few hundred dollars more than this one. Turns out, this is not one of those amazing metal bunk bed frames that dont budge when you lean on them or climb up the ladder. This one shakes ALL the way. My husband's five year old weighs under 50lbs and the noise this frame makes would make you think a 250lb man was climbing up the ladder. Skip this one and get the more expensive model from another company that does bunk beds right.
