I think this is a very nice bunk bed. Seems very sturdy and plenty of slats for each bed. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the color. I was looking forward to a slate gray and in our bedroom it looks brown. Maybe it's the lighting, I don't know, but I'm really disappointed in the color. Also we did have some trouble getting the metal connectors to line up at two different places. Finally got it together and it does look nice. Like I said before it seems very sturdy. Our grandsons love it! They each have a little battery lantern they set on the end of each bed. This only gets used when our grandsons visit, but it really does come in handy. Our room is on the smaller side and it fits well. Except for the color it's a thumbs up!
