This book took a few hours to assemble, but it was well worth it. My daughters (6&4) have been after me to get them a bunk bed for over a year now and this fit the bill perfectly. It is short enough that if my 6 year old wants me to carry her to bed I can easily do so (I am 6 feet tall) but the ladder is accessible enough that she has had no trouble getting up and down by herself. Even with an unideal mattress setup on the bottom (ancient twin box and mattress combo) there is enough room to tuck in my 4 year old down there.

I was impressed with the weight of the bed when it arrived -nearly 80 lbs. This bunk is solid once constructed and perfectly fits the parameters of a kids bunk bed.
