I purchased this for two 9yr olds. I was apprehensive about it being to small. It works perfect for our lower ceilings. Easy to put together. Seems sturdy thus far. (As an adult I feel comfortable on the top) The kids love hanging out on the lower bunk. They consider it a fort. At any given time there's easily 4 kids (5-9) hanging out on the bunk and really enjoying it. Highly recommended
