We bought these bunkbeds for our grandsons & we wanted them to be sturdy & safe.  We were not disappointed.  They are well-made, solid wood & just the right height.  The instructions were not very good but my husband (who's very handy) didn't have a problem.  My husband did install one small metal strap connecting the top bunk leg to the bottom bunk just to make me happy but the ladder is secured to both so that gives the beds extra support. I would have given the bunk beds 5 stars except for the stain they used has a very strong smell.  I've left the windows open for over a week and it's still strong.  Hopefully it's not toxic.
