Reviewed numerous beds before deciding on the twin over full. Arrived in about 2 1/2 weeks, quicker than estimated, and was relatively easy to put together (about two hours with our 3-y.o.'s helpful expertise). Within seconds of attaching the ladder, he was up to the top. He sleeps on the lower bunk for now, but I would have no hesitation to put him on top when he's older. Very impressed with this well-designed, sturdy, and beautiful piece.
