We bought this in grey and love it! My daughter could not have been more excited. The top bunk has an extra support for heavier people, which is good, but my daughter keeps hitting her head on it. Im sure shell learn to work around it. You could probably leave off the support too, unless a heavier person uses the top. The regular braces are all the bottom bunk has, so they are good enough for the top too. I appreciate that the ladder came in a separate box. My daughter is too young for the top bunk, so I just put the ladder box in the closet until we need it. That way she doesnt sneak up to the top, which she would.
