Buyer beware! This is a lovely looking bed, but there is no room for even a small child to sit up in the bottom bunk once you place the mattress. And there is a "bed-width" removable stick on the inside of the top bunk that cannot be removed without damage to the wood. There is no way this bed will work for our petite 10 year old daughter and we are working with Wayfair to send it back. Again, I say buyer beware!
