Very streamlined design and fits our girls Star Wars inspired bedroom theme. The instructions are very vague when it comes to the proper alignment of the frame rails that the ladder attaches to, and even though I was sure I had been very careful to assemble them in their proper manner, found that they were actually upside down and I had to take apart the whole second story section of the bunk frame! An extra hour was wasted repeating all the work.
The four star rating is for that obscure instruction sheet.
*A word if I may, about the slightly wobbly nature of the metal bed frame. We had a metal frame loft bed for my oldest son, and it had that same creaky wobble to it, so apparently thats the trade-off for not using wood that could split or break under duress of kids playing on/in it. It never gave way under his weight or his indelicate handling of the loft frame, so we knew there was nothing to fear about this same issue with this bed. I have to say that it was very difficult to get it apart when attempting to turn the frame rails 180 degrees, which speaks to the sturdiness of the metal and its connections.
Easier if it had clear instructions!
