I am no impressed with this bed nor the instructions. Bottom bunk frame sits directly on the floor, so no air can circulate therefore seems like it would cause sweating and molding. Some of the wood had splits where it was not completely dried out, wood was still green. Directions seemed as if they were wrote for someone use to putting it together. They are backwards you have to totally flip bed around or ladder is against the wall. Be easier to put directions in the right order.
