This bed is strong and really pretty. It has plenty of room and the kids love it. The dresser drawers are so helpful but would be nice if there were more that fit under the trundle bed instead of the false drawer covers. The white is really clean looking. The ladder is thick and sterdy. It can be a challenge to put together, but I had someone that that done this type of bed before put it together and it seemed like it was done in no time. Love it!
