We love this bunk bed. It was a little frustrating to put together, mostly because the instructions are hidden inside one of the 6 boxes this ships in. Finding them meant opening all the boxes and in a small space, that made for some frustration. There were a few times that we were confused on the very basic instructions (pictures with no real instructions), but after a couple of hours we got it all put together.
I chose this bunk bed because I have a 2 year old and wanted one with steps instead of a ladder, he absolutely loves it. He gets on the top bunk with his big brother and I don't worry about him falling off the steps. And I love the bookshelf which adds a little extra storage in their small room! I would buy this again!
