We have been using this bunk bed for a month now and it has stood up to 2 crazy boys. I love that the bottom is nearly on the floor. Makes me feel very safe with my 3 year old in it. Also I love that the top bunk is at a level where I still still kiss my son goodnight. It is so sturdy, it doesn’t even make a squeak and the boys play on it all day long! The gray color is also very nice! My husband put this bed together in about an hour by himself. I helped line things up, but it can def be done by a single person quickly.
