We've had this bed for about 3 years. I got it to double as a jungle gym during the winter, and it has withstood such abuse of my now 5 and 7 year old well. We've used it with dofferent sized beds in different configurations underneath.. lots of options. I like the added security of no ladder hole.. both myself at 31 and my son at 2 had no problems entering or exiting. I did brace the bed to the wall for added stability given that my kids use the bottom like monkey bars. I only wish I were short enough to do the same! It's been a while since assembly but I did it on my own in the company of toddlers and don't remember it being terribly difficult. We got the white one, and the openness of the structure comboned with the color help limit the visual weight in a small room. I also love that the ladder is flush with the unit, frewing up more floor space, and is along the end, resulting in a very wide opening underneath. Definitely accomplishes the job of efficiently maximizing a small room.
Safe and smart design
