We picked this bunk bed set for multiple reasons. We wanted a twin over full so a parent could lie down with the kids etc. It was important that the weight limit on the bottom bunk would support at least 2 kids and 1 adult. Anything less would be dangerous and probably flimsy. We are very happy with how sturdy the bed is. The ladder is very secure. We also wanted storage drawers under the bed which are great albeit not attached but on wheels. So far our kids love sleeping on it!
