Great bed, though some of the hardware is a bit lacking and the support for the railing where the child enters the bed, is a bit concerning. The concern is not that the railing will fail quickly and the child will fall, but that over time the two bolts and bracket will be insufficient and the railing will begin to loosen and wobble. But, all in all, the bed is great and the children love their bunks I purchased two units. The upper bunk is not very high, which leaves little headroom for the lower bunk, but that is both a plus and minus but a parent can not sit directly on it. The bolts are readily apparent and everywhere, but that is not a large concern - it is clean looking. The supports for the railings are adequate, but not wonderful. You use simple screws to place the four supports two front and two back, and the locations are not marked you have to measure, which was not hard, but predrilled holes with a bolt instead of a screw would be better, have both more support and limit operator error. The beds are easy to construct, but it does take a great deal of time 2 hours each, and I have a great deal of experience with nuts and bolts. I am happy with the beds, and they are certainly worth the money.
Attractive and good bed for the price.
