I purchased this in the dark chocolate color for my client. She has a 5 year old son and this was a perfect solution for his bedroom. I researched tons of bunk beds and this was the best option for safety, style and function. The steps are easy and safe for her child to go up and down on. It's also easy for an adult to get to the top. The draws in the steps are perfect for storing toys or extra pillow covers, blankets, etc. Overall a great product and would highly recommend this bunk bed over any other brand.
