I bought this bunkbed for my son and his friends who like to sleep over night. I am always looking for good quality furniture and this is not one of those pieces unfortunately. I love the concept of the design the storage shelving and the stairs. However the Stair railing is very flimsy, the storage shelves are subpar and the nicest pieces of wood on this bedset are the slats to place the mattresses on! Not really impressed but was aware of such flaws when I purchased it. Solid wood furniture is very expensive. I believe the bed will last us a good 5 years!
