After researching a LOT of bunk beds for our son, we finally settled on this one and couldn't be happier.  It is well-made, sturdy, and looks just like it does on the picture.  The shelves are great extra storage for his slightly smaller room.  It recommends 5" mattresses but we got him 8" and they work perfectly.  The only issue we had was that it came without assembly instructions.  Luckily my husband is fairly handy and managed to figure it out.  Overall, we are very pleased with our purchase.
