This is my little boys first bed. He loves it. I like that the full bed can be moved around. he has a fort under the bunk and the full bed is to the side. He is so proud. I do wish there was a 'break' in the railing so the ladder could be used easier. It's a bit hard to maneuver over the rail onto the ladder. I know the bunk is for ages 6 and up but my little boy is 4 and handles this bed fine. He knows it's for sleeping and the rails are high enough all around to keep him safe. The directions had no words. So we had to decipher pictures.so that was interesting. It took around 2 1/2 to 3 hrs to build.
