I did a lot of research before deciding on this bed. What I liked the most was how thick the posts were compared to other loft beds. I also liked that all of the pieces were square instead of thin circles. This bed is very heavy. My regular UPS delivery woman wasnt so happy about the purchase but was curious how they looked once up. (I do a lot of online shopping) the other plus I liked were the flat ladder steps. Most bunk beds have the thin circular rungs that most reviewers had complaints about them hurting kids feet. Also since I could only place both beds as they are in the picture I needed beds that had ladder options on both sides. This greatly reduced options available to us. I was able to put both beds together myself. It was difficult to do the final assembly without a second person holding the bed but it is doable. It did take a couple hours per bed for assembly. The only reason I did not give a 5 star was the second bed I put together was missing 2 of the pre/drilled holes so I had to bring 2 of the pieces to my brother/in laws shop to have them drilled. That was a slight inconvenience and I could see how it could be a major one for some people. Would definitely buy again.
Very sturdy
