Love this bunk bed! My 3 year old is on the top bunk and 2 year old on the bottom. I love the staircase and how sturdy the bed is. I purchased the Clay color and it is beautiful. We got the 5 inch mattress that was reccomened when we bought the bed and I decided that it wasn't enough and purchased a 1.5inch mattress topper. I love the storage under the steps on the side of the bed, we use it to store some of the boys toy cars.
