Very sturdy bed! My 5 year old loves it. His room has limited space and this bed allows for us to free up some floor space for him to play. I wish the steps on the ladder were a little more flat for a more secure climb up but it does the job. We have a table under there with a wall lamp for him to play with his Legos and a little cabinet with books and such. I'm thinking of buying another one for my daughter when we redecoreate her room.
