Good, solid, sturdy bed. Heavy pine wood grain. Has a nice rustic look to it. Ladder is easy for my little ones to navigate. Took my handy husband about two hours to put together solo. I like that the ladder is screwed to the bed. We have 10” mattresses in both top and bottom and there’s still plenty of rail to keep my 6yo from falling off the top. I can easily get on top (220lbs) to make the top bunk and there’s no creaking or signs of strain. I’d prefer if there were caps for the hardware vs having it exposed, that’s my only complaint.
