This bed is great because we needed a low bunk to fit under a window. Overall it seems sturdy. One bottom slat was about an inch too short and we were unable to use it, but since it was just one it doesn’t seem to effect the sturdiness of the bed. The ladder and frame are also so uncomfortable. I know it’s obvious due to it being made of metal, but really it hurts when you run into it or have to use the ladder. I’m planning on doing something to soften it up a bit.
