This slide will throw your kid directly into the floor, hard and fast.
ETA: I reached out to the company, , and for $40 including deliver, they are shipping us a 3/4 railing instead of a 1/2 railing so that we can get rid of the slide and just have the ladder.
We bought two different sets of bunk beds and my husband assembled both this weekend. Our older son's was MUCH easier to assemble than this one - my husband said this was a pain. But that is not the problem. The slide is dangerous. It is very fast and goes straight down. My toddler has hurt his butt several times - even with a pull up on. If he puts his feet down to slow himself at all - it launches him forward, hard. He knows how to ride a slide - he is not new to this - but most slides end above the ground - not directly into it and most aren't at this steep angle. I place a pillow beneath it to cushion the drop and that helps a bit - but this thing is a hazard. I don't feel comfortable with my son playing in his room on his own anymore. I wish I had never bought this thing, to be honest. It is very cute and looks just like the picture. It is the perfect size for a three year old and seems sturdy. I will regret this purchase the entire time we have it because we aren't going to disassemble it and return it and if you take the slide out - it just leaves an unguarded hole. Don't buy the one with the slide!!!
