Nice bed for the price point. Putting it together was pretty easy. My 7 year old was able to do most of it with a little muscle help. The little plastic locks that slide into the top bunk to essentially keep the rungs in place are ridiculously tight and you cant get them innot even with a hammer. I was worried I would damage the bed or break the plasticand of course there are like 50 of them. We have had to rely on the weight of the mattress alone to keep the rungs in place. Its strong enough to hold an adult, but the bulk of the bed is overhead and the base seems a little insecure unless you secure the bed to the wall with the brackets providedmuch like you wood earthquake proof a tall bookshelf.howeversecuring it to the wall isnt easy if you have any type of floor trim because the bed cannot sit flush with the wall. Either you will have super long screws and have them exposed a whole inch out of the drywall before they even reach the bed frame.or you have to remove your base trim to have your bed up against the wall. works great.
Feels a Little Top Heavy
