We ordered this for our grandkids. We had another bunk already in the room. This bunk is somewhat taller and has great headroom on the bottom bunk. It is very sturdy (our oldest grandson is nearly 6'tall and weighs 175lbs). Drawbacks: smaller space under the bed if you are looking for storage, My husband had a difficult time assembling all the tiny parts and as stated in other reviews the plastic pieces needed for each of the mattress support rungs were difficult to put in place. He had several interruptions during the process so this took him the better part of a day to put together, probably 5 hrs after deducting for the interruptions. Final drawback is that because of it's height it is a little more difficult to make the top bunk especially for someone who is shorter (I am 5' tall). We solved this problem by placing large caster style floor protectors under each leg. Since we have hardwood floors, we bought the type with carpet on the bottom and I am easily able to slide the bed away from the wall and gain access to make up the bed. Kids will be doing this on their own soon so it was important that they be able to reach all sides as well. Despite the drawbacks, we are very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend this piece of furniture.
