The sturdiness of this bed surpasses other beds. In fact I am 55 and 190 and I can sleep on the top bunk with my 30lb daughter without worry about it falling on my son underneath. Description says each bed can hold 400 lbs .
For us, we chose this because American pediatric association says not to put children under 6 on the top bunk. Our daughter is 3 and my son is 2 but we needed a bunk bed since our living situation got downsized. So having a lower top bunk seemed to make sense. In addition we bought something off called a privacy tent and it fully enclosed my daughters top bunk bed since she is a cry sleeper and literally throws herself in different directions while sleeping. The tent was a great addition and Im so thankful for it. She has lunged herself over the edge and the tent softly rebounded her back to where she was supposed to be. Make sure to look for a tent that goes underneath the mattress and not one that attaches to side bars and only goes over if you choose to do this too.
The inside the tent can get a little warmer than the rest of the room but for us that was not an issue as we sleep with the ac but Ive seen other reviews use a fan or open the mesh, it just depends on your situation. My daughter says its not warmer inside but I can feel a slight difference.
The only issue to consider is that the low bunk bed has little space for a larger child or adult. Also for me , because my son is very heavy for a 2 year old, putting him into the lower bed while hes asleep can be difficult, but which is something to consider especially if they crawl into your bed at night and you put them back.
I also think the low head space in the bottom bunk makes them outgrow it faster HOWEVER , given the opportunity I would choose this bed over and over again against competitors. Good one.
Great for our situation.
