This bed is priced right, is pretty sturdy, looks good, took an average amount of time and fairly easy to put together. One design flaw...there is no opening at the top of the ladders, to get into the bed my daughter has to climb over the side railing-just not practical.  I ended up removing the front side railing (hoping this will not compromise the stability of the bed).  Also am looking for a tall step stool or ladder (more ) for her to be able to enter from the front. If I didn’t think it would be too much hassle I would return this bed.
