For the price I was honestly expecting it to be much more sturdy. I have 2 boys ages 4 and 6 sharing this bed. I also would not recommend paying extra for the drawers under the bed. They do not have any tracks they are just on wheels and they do no slide nicely in and out. I like the style and color there were a few small kicks in the wood  but nothing too major. Overall the bed will work for the boys, I do like the amount of space you have between bunks plenty of room to sit up and read.
