Excellent product for the price. More sturdy than expected, but I suggest to use the provided brackets to anchor it to the wall for peace of mind. Ladders placed on both ends give a better flexibility the bed in the room. In my case, I buyed 2 beds and they are in the same bedroom (12'X12'). Ladders feel uncomfortable to me, but no complaints from the the kids (I added some foam tubing to improve). PROs: price, space saving design, easy to assemble and well packaged.
