We put this bunk bed together yesterday for our kids and they are loving it! Its sturdy and relatively easy to put together - some parts needed two people but for the most part my husband was able to complete it on his own in a few hours. However, there is a metal bar that runs beneath the top bunk for stability and it is totally unsafe. We bought a pool noodle and covered the bar and the problem was solved, but Im surprised no one else mentioned this serious design flaw - the metal bar is not smooth and round and could easily cause a cut (as it did!) on a child getting up in the middle of the night and is still a little disoriented and not watching his head. I cant give this bed 5 stars because that bar is just not safe, but for the price this was an easy solution to make the bed safe.
