OMgoodness if you are contemplating on getting this bunk bed don't think twice. I ordered another one prior to this collection and hated it. It was wood on the outside and some compressed mess for the inner core and returned it immediately. But this one is the truth when I visited my grandson and went into his room I still smelled the pine that this bedding was made from and it had been assembled for 2 months. Can't go wrong with this one.
