First off let me just say, this has to be the cutest little bunk bed Ive ever seen. For space saving and safety reasons this is perfect for little ones. I decided to go with this lower bunk bed because one of my kids has seizures and this was the perfect height for me to still be able to reach up at the top bunk without a problem (Im 52 and Im taller than the bed) if need be without a struggle. I also didnt screw down the ladder directly on the bed so I could remove it during the day so they werent playing around on it.
I also read through the comments before buying it and saw many people suggested to double up on the bunkie boards and I have to agree. I put both on the top bunk for extra support and then just went and bought boards from Home Depot to make slats for the bottom. Which you can make them wider and thicker so you dont have to use very many; I bought 1 board and had it cut into 5 slats. Would highly recommend this bunk bed!
To the company though, I would highly suggest putting words on your directions also instead of just pictures. It would be more helpful for some people. As Im a single mom, I put things together better when I can actually read the words of what I need and pictures to see how to do it. But thats a minor issue. very pleasantly surprised
