the good: well made, nice quality, thoughtful design, easy to install (my 12 year-old read the instruction, and she got everything figured out alone - of course I did the actual assembly).
the bad (improvement opportunities): 1. the rail/bar, it is real challenging to climb over, although the whole piece design does make the bed stable. It would be nice if there is a "door" part, so kid can get in/out much easier.
2. the ladder: it hurt so much on the feet - the heavier you, the more pain for every step you are going to suffer. Can you include some wrapping material to soften is a little?

Overall, my kid love it, and the my younger ones want this as well- waiting on some improvement to it and a better deal.
