Great buy for price but instructions could use a tweaking.
1/ dont put the slats on until the end. You will be removing some to complete the ladder
2/ PAY UTMOST ATTENTION TO THE NOTCHES ON THE SIDE RAILS. The ladder placement depends on it.
3/ if you are using a foam mattress and not innerspring you will need a bunkie board for both levels.
4/ yes it can accommodate a mattress that is 8 inches however you lose A LOT of safety rail. Buy a 1/2 inch bunkie board and then 4 inch mattress.
Another note/ holy cow stickers! Plan on spending hours removing labels. Thought it was bigger.
