**Update Weve now owned this bed for nearly 2 years and it has held up very well.
I completely stand by my original review.**
This bed is an outstanding deal! It was no more difficult to assemble than our Ikea furniture and a similar price point, but much better quality. This bed is actually made of solid wood. I read up on rubberwood before purchasing this bed. It is lighter and stronger than pine. The bed looks beautiful and is very sturdy. We had looked at bunk beds in several furniture stores. This bed is better made than any of the more expensive beds we saw in person. I love that the ladder is secured to the top bunk at an incline for easier climbing. My 5 year old alternates between the top and bottom bunk. She sleeps safely in either spot. Both bunks are great for play areas, too.
Youll be glad you bought this bed. I am!
