We ordered two of these, the wood and the gray, for our 4 kids after a recent move and downsize.  The shipping boxes were busted open when we received them so I was concerned but everything was still in great shape. This bed is a good quality bed and is very sturdy.  We already had 12" mattresses so it does make the space between the lower and upper bunk tighter and not much handrail showing on the top.  If I had bought the beds first I would have purchased thinner mattresses.  But overall the bed is great quality and our kids love them.
