These were exactly what I wanted for the kids' bunk room at our beach house. My main criteria for choosing them was that they needed to be sturdy. With four kids in the room they needed to be able to handle a lot of silliness. Of all the ones I reviewed these had the highest weight limit per bed at 300 lbs each.  My engineer son put both sets together easily in a couple of hours and proclaimed them solid enough to handle the roughhousing of four kids and the weight of a 300 lb gorilla. He only had to redrill two holes. One of the rails across had extensive stains that could not be removed.  Luckily it was on the side against the wall and doesn't show. The rest of the finish was smooth and should hold up well.
