It is a great bed and felt it was the right price for .
I wanted to wait until we had moved it our first time post/assembly to write a review. It was a breeze to take apart and reassemble again in a new home. And it is straight forward enough that we didnt need the instructions the second time to be able to reassemble. It is a great bed and felt it was the right price for what we were getting. We like that it has the ladder on both sides of the bed so that we dont have to take apart the entire thing if we want to rearrange the furniture in the room.
The assembly is time consuming, but the mechanics of it make sense and it creates a sturdy frame for a childrens bunk bed. We thought our kids would love having their own levels to sleep on, but we find it adorable that they end up sleeping together on the lower bunk. They are kind of best buddies, and this bed has created a lot of fun photographs to cherish.
I do, however, wish that the bars on the upper bunk were about 3 inches taller. I didnt think my twin mattress was an abnormally tall mattress, but after we put the bedding on it, there isnt a lot of guarding happening with the bars. So, if you buy this, make sure that your mattress isnt very tall for the upper bunk so that you can take advantage of the protection the guard rails are there for. Perhaps this is why the older child has naturally leaned toward sleeping on the bottom. But, when he does sleep on the top, it hasnt been an issue.
