All in all I'm happy with the bed, but there are a few things that would improve my satisfaction. Each piece had a sticker to identify what part it was to make assembly easier. However, the stickers don't come off very nicely or easily and there are LOTS of parts to go around and remove stickers from. Secondly, the bunks each need to have a platform so that the bedding that is tucked in in the sides of the bed isn't ruined by being pulled along the rough wood slats, the extra ticket in bedding also hands down in front of the kid's face on the bunk below. And my twin mattresses have a couple inches of room along the sides and I'm worried one of the boys' legs will fall through. All-in-all a great bed for $420 and at that price we can afford to put our own OSB platforms on each bed.
