The steps are very, very narrow.  As a grown-up (sz 8, 5’10”), it’s hard to get out of the bed with the steps.  The steps themselves are also very steep.  My dog has a hard time hopping up them because they’re so narrow.  We have had the bed for a week and the bunk beds still smell.  I am not sure if it’s from the paint that was used, but we have the white set.  The beds do look attractive and my hubby out them together in a few hours.  My daughters love them.  Pros: easy to assemble, soild construction.  Cons: steps too narrow, stepa too steep, opening to get on to steps too small, strong odor
