The reason I am giving this a 3 star is because the weight limit advertised on the website is different than the warning label on the actual bed. The warning label says 165lbs, and the website says 250lbs. Second, the slates underneath the mattress seem so cheap and I am always afraid to lay on the bed with my kids to break them. Third, the instruction is not clear, I had take some parts a part after assembling it couple of times, for instance I had to unscrew some of the slates in order to assemble the ladder. I would recommend this if you have small kids
