The bed is perfect for my sons. The height is high enough for them to be bunked but low enough that I dont worry (too much) about my 3 and 6 year olds who love to jump off of everything! It was a PAIN to put together and took both my husband and I to complete it. Some of the parts are difficult to distinguish from one another with little help from the instructions and the pieces get awkward as you assemble. Even if youre really good with instructions Id recommend a second hand just to keep it steady. Overall happy with the purchase.
