This is a good, sturdy bed for a younger child; indeed, one plus is that its ladder is slanted rather than straight-up, which I think makes it easier for a young kid to get up and down safely.  I like that it's made of solid yet lightweight pine wood instead of MDF or particleboard.  It was delivered ahead of schedule in good condition, with no broken or missing parts/hardware.  The holes for fastening bolts were all aligned properly, and we didn't smell any off-gassing from the finish.  My little girl likes her new princess castle bed (the white one with the pink tent).
