We purchased these bunkbeds after a considerable amount of searching. The price couldn't be beat. They came in perfect condition and on time. My brother put them together in a little more than an hour. Everything was there and went together smoothly. I love the girly, dainty look and color. It's not as tall as our boys' bunks which is nice for the girls' small room. They appear to be very sturdy as well. My daughter loves them. As others have mentioned, the steps on the ladder are not flat but turned so that you are stepping on the skinny side of the board. It is painful for me, but my 8yr old says it doesn't bother her.
