Waited for months for the grey one to be back in stock and are so glad we waited. It's a very sturdy bed with a top bunk not too high off the ground - great for young kids (our are almost 6 and 3). We got a 6" cheap foam mattress to keep our older child safer. Would recommend that thickness since it means the rail goes up higher. One small scratch in the paint that's no big deal. Definitely agree with suggestion to sand the bottom of the slats supporting the upper bunk since they are exposed for the child on the lower one. A young child can sit on the bottom bunk but not an adult or older child. I'd give five stars if the slats came at least sanded (ideally painted).
