I struggled with how to rate this piece.  For the price we paid i was UNDERwhelmed with the product....but the product is nice.  I will mention though, the shelves on the side are small and just about useless...the picture makes them look much bigger.  Also, and to me this is the most annoying is that there is not enough room for an adult to sit on the edge of the bed nor is there is enough for an adult for a 5 year old to sit up on the bottom bunk.  So we can't sit and read etc.  My fault....I guess I should have looked at the measurement but it never crossed my mind.  The 8 boxes delivered on different days was annoying and none of the boxes are labeled in order.  Most of it seems sturdy except for the most important parts :) the hand railings and the bed railing on the top bunk. The view from the bottom bunk to the top bunk is just wood slats which is blahh.
