It was easy to put together, sturdy, and opens up the room. Good value for the price. I noticed it squeaked more when I first put it together than it does now that my son has spent time climbing up and down and laying up there. It seems to have settled so theres less squeaking. I agree with those who say dont tighten completely til you have all pieces in place. I see people commenting about the lack of a space in the end rail at the top of the ladder - my son is 6 and has no trouble climbing up and over the end rail, and I feel its safer that way. He does scarier climbing on the playground all the time. My sons room is very small and I like the fact that the ladder doesnt stick out. He says it doesnt hurt his feet - but Ive seen a hack using pool noodles to cushion bunk bed ladders that would probably work for anyone with that issue. I paired this with a single futon underneath so we can have two kids sleep in the room when needed but can fold it up and have a chair when its playtime. Overall very happy with this purchase.
