I purchased this bed because in the q/a it stated that this set could also be two separate beds. However, that is NOT the case. This bunk set CANNOT be separated. Had I not been in a bind with sleeping arrangements, this would have 100% been returned. Wayfair was kind enough to offer several options bc I was dissatisfied.  But it was minimal. I appreciated the gesture but it didn’t make up for the fact that I was mislead. With all that being said, so far the bunk set is actually very nice. It’s very sturdy. It does sit on the floor so if you have toddlers, you may find some comfort in knowing they are closer to the ground.  This is a good investment piece if it’s what you’re looking for.
