Good bed for the money. It is shorter than expected, especially the distance between the bottom and upper bunks. An adult or older child cannot sit upright on the mattress of the bottom bunk. This is more of a 2-5 year old bunk bed, not for older children. Although it is not tall, it makes for easy bedmaking on the top bunk. Sturdy, nice finish, directions are easy with the tools provided and it took about 2 hours for one person to set up. Bed slats are very rough cut and not sanded at all, we had to hand sand them real quick before installing to the bed bc just taking them out of the box everyone got splinters. Great purchase for the price on sale.
