We bought this bed for our 3 year-old daughter, with plans to move her 1 year-old sister into her room in a year or so. We chose it because it is not as tall as a regular bunk bed. Between that and the use of stairs instead of a ladder, it was the safest bunk bed we could find. (Not to mention how cute it was in the pictures.) Once we had it assembled, it exceeded all expectations. The stairs are easy to navigate, it looks fantastic, and it has tons of storage. Our daughter loves it! She sleeps in the lower bunk for now, and uses the upper bunk for playing and reading. Once she's a little older, we'll be comfortable having her sleep up there, and will move her sister into her room. Regarding price - I searched far and wide for something comparable, and came up empty. There is nothing out there that has these same features at this price. The quality is great - it's solid and sturdy, the drawers slide easily and aren't crooked, and the whole thing is squared up well. I have bought a lot of assemble-yourself furniture, and most is not of this quality. (Side note - the photo shows some storage cubbies to the right of the stairs. Those cubbies don't exist on our assembled unit. There is a small space at the floor level, but no cute shelves. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning. Another review indicated the cubbies do work out if you assemble the other way.)"..." Read more
