We got the black version and I love it. I (mom) put it together by myself. Probably took longer than it should but attaching the top part and the support for the mattress took a little muscle and I was getting tired by then.  My 7 year old does not like the small bars on the ladder it hurts his feet he says and I had read that in another review but figured with his weight (50lbs) it wouldn't be an issue but it is.  
I do love that I can sit on the bottom bunk straight up even with a 10" mattress. So far it seems very sturdy. 
Just so it's out there I did put pool noodles on the ladder to cushion the steps. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY MANUFACTURER the bars are slippery and the noodle slipped on my son climbing into bed and he hurt his arm already so the noodles are back off until I can figure out how to keep them from turning because they still turn with tape around it.
