While the idea was great, our decision was not.  This bed scares us to death.  We have 5 grandchildren (boys, ages 8 to 2).  We allow the older boys to sleep in pairs on each bed.  All night you can hear squeaking and I have nightmares that the bed is going to collapse on the other boys below.

It sways when they go up the ladder.  We have tightened every screw in the bed.  It's awful--don't make the same mistake we did.  Now we have to find other beds and probably will end up having to buy new mattresses, unless we get lucky and find full bed with twin on top that doesn't cost a lot of money.  We will never purchase metal again.

Thank you.
