This bunk bed met all my girl’s dreams!  My older daughter wanted more space and my youngest likes the upper bunk and feels it’s her own getaway.  The shelves are a perfect addition to this amazing space saver unit.  It’s sturdy, is excellent quality in functionality, is visually attractive even to my 11 year old (it’s not a baby bed - tweens like it), and makes an incredible first impression.  My kid’s friends have come over to play and say that this is their dream room!  The bed really made things very special for my girls to create their own spaces in a mid-size bedroom for two.  The only downside is assembly...it took two men 4 hours so be patient.
