Two issue with the bunk bed was one of the top hole for one of the hex screw to screw into didn't line up. I had to use a drill bit to shave of some of the metal to make it match. And they other was the ladder, it was skinny and round. My 7 year old said it was hurting his feet. So i went to the local hardware store and bought a round foam ( the one used for copper pipe) and it fit perfectly on each step. I used double sided tape so the foam won't roll.
