Grandkids and parents found the bed to be very comfortable. Be careful with other beds, the weight they are allowed to hold is not as hefty as this bed. The top bunk and the bottom bunk can hold 700 lbs. each, enough for most couples and certainly enough for kids to share the bunks. The furniture was well made and took only a couple of hours for my husband to put it together by himself. He only had me help him hoist the top mattress.
