Love these bunk beds! I chose them because so many previous buyers said they were stable, not rickety, and that’s what I wanted and that’s what they are. Love that they have drawers AND open cubbies at the end and that the steps have nonskid treads on them. It did take my very capable handy man 7 hours to put them together (his day job is putting furniture together for 2 well known retailers so he knows what he’s doing!) Iwould
