Great bed and fits together tightly which is reassuring, but it does creak a bit so i'd suggest securing it to the wall. The instructions in the box were unclear (as lotsnof reviews also state) but that said apparently there are some updated ones I believe online. 
One of our ladder wood pieces was split and we had a bolt missing but I've read on other reviews that these are easy to replace through email. 
Generally pleased with the bed and my son was thrilled too
