This bed had a lot of good reviews! I picked this one because it had the highest weight limit of all the ones I looked at. Most of the negative reviews were due to ‘poor instructions.’ I actually thought it was pretty easy to put together. I did it alone in about 3hrs (but needed help getting the top bunk on). Overall, I’m very pleased with the quality for the price I paid. The ladder doesn’t seem like it would support adult weight but we haven’t tested it.
