This is one of those items that looks good in the picture but is completely different when you get it in the room.  It is unusable for many reasons and I am going to have to buy new furniture to replace it (on wayfair since I still love the site).  I am afraid for my daughter to climb this less than sturdy contraption and climb over the gate to get in bed.  As you will notice, there is no opening for the child by the ladder.  Also this is way too close to the ceiling.  Another issue that is mine alone is that this is just too large for the size room I have.  The room is 10x9 and with that the bed is right under the ceiling fan.  Unusable, unreturnable.
