LOVE this bunk bed. I shopped several websites and liked the style of this bed the best, especially how when taken apart into two beds, both beds have a nice clean frame (you wouldn't be able to tell they were bunk beds). My husband assembled the bed within a few hours. It's very sturdy and nicely constructed. The bed comes with wood slats so you don't need a box spring. We used 7 inch mattresses on top and bottom and they fit great. Would recommend this bed!!
