The first time I received the bed it was missing rails, so we had to wait another month to get the other pieces.  Some of the screws do t fit well, which makes me nervous about how sturdy it is.  My son can barely step on the ladder because it hurts, so I have to hear him jump to the floor every morning.  Making the bed is almost impossible the way the rails are designed so close to the mattress.  Not that happy with the putchase, but I’m not putting another bed together anytime sooo.
