wish it was a bit more sturdy when moving around on it  ladder is a bit narrow for my feet but then again i am an adult haha, otherwise it is great!! no smell when opening it  assembly was alright just needed help to hold pieces in place occasionally so it took me a couple days. this bed is the PERFECT height that my cats can jump to the top bunk with me from the ground without any help -) there is a lot of space in the desk drawers!  the pictures have bad lighting because the room is painted a dark color  no windows but in person the bed is a beautiful, rich dark brown color just like i wanted. (the ceilings in my house are 10ft so it makes the bed look smaller but it is actually a good size)  still finding a chair i like for the desk  decorating the rest of the room but overall i’m very happy with this bed 3
