My girls love this bunk bed. The overall height is perfect for our low ceilings. Easy for them to climb up, feels sturdy even when I climb up to the top. Because it is lower then a normal bunk bed I dont worry as much about them being on the top bunk. And the height  makes making up the bed so much easier as I can do it without getting up on the bed. The rail height on the top bunk is  Adequate with 6 mattresses
