This was easy for one person to assemble and is sturdy enough for an adult in the top bunk (which I have to do to make up the upper bunk). My 6 year grandson had no problem with the vertical ladder, though the 4 year old was hesitant. The bunks have numerous, closely spaced metal slats, which would work fine for an ordinary mattress. However, since I was using natural latex mattresses, I added sheets of 1/4 inch formaldehyde free plywood on top of the slats and below the mattresses. I particularly liked the fact that you can assemble it various configurations to fit the needs of the room.
Straightforward assembly and sturdy
