Nice and roomy, but pretty shaky for my 10 and 12 year old.
Bought this for my sons, ages 10 12. It seems HUGE, which is great. My kids were both stoked to move up to a full size instead of twin. The bottom bed has so much head room that even my son who didnt want another bunk bed was happy with it. However, I would make sure your ceiling is high enough for the kid on the top to be comfy. Its definitely wobbly, and could have used another brace going along the long side by the wall to help stabilize it. The ladder was so uncomfortable for my 10/year old that we bought foam and taped it to the metal slats so he didnt hurt his feet when he climbed up. Not a huge deal and I didnt expect perfection for something with a price this good. However, the top short rail on the side with the ladder had one side that kept popping out of its hole, and just didnt seem to fit correctly. All screws were tight, and I checked them multiple times to be sure it wasnt just a matter of loosened screws. Then, a few days ago, that same rail snapped right off at the welds. My son was probably hanging on it, though of course he swears differently lol Actually, he likes it better this way because its easier for him to climb off the bed and use the ladder. The only worry was the sharp edges of metal where it snapped, which we fixed by hammering down and wrapping the area with electrical tape. However, the loss of the rail has not helped the overall shakiness of the bed. 3 stars for the great price and roominess, and the shipping that was faster than expected. If I decide to keep this bed, I will definitely want to stabilize the bed by attaching it to the wall to reduce the shaking and creaking of the metal. Debating if we are going to keep it or return it.
