This bed serves the purpose and was easy to assemble, BUT after using it for a year, 2 of the ladder stairs have broke away from the bolts. It says the bed is rated to have adults be up on it, but I wouldn't. I have a 7 year old that uses it and this has happened with her up and down them and us average sized parents going up on occasion to say good night, make bed etc. Not quite sure how I will fix this problem:/
