I love this bed! It's beyond sturdy!!! My only concern is the lack of an opening into the loft at the top of the ladder. I purchased this particular bed specifically for the 15" rails (safety, safety!!!), but have now realized that the extra height puts that much more distance between the top rung of the ladder and the actual mattress. I'm sure it will just take some getting used to for my son to comfortably traverse. Just something others might want to consider. Other than that, we seriously love this new bed!
