I write reviews - a lot of reviews. But I only write reviews for products I feel strongly about (positively or negatively) so that I can hopefully assist others from my experiences. I bought this bunkbed 6 months ago for my 4 year old twins (in white) and have been waiting to have some clear cut pros and cons before I wrote my review for this bunkbed.But here is the deal - this is going to be a very boring review - and the reason? This is a great bunkbed!!!!- It wasn't too difficult to assemble - it probably took my husband and I around 1.5 hours.- It is solid! An adult would feel comfortable sleeping in this bunkbed - this thing is meant to last - there is nothing flimsy about it!- The drawers are smooth and I have had no issue with them on either floor or carpet.- I like that it can be separated into beds and the ladder can either be on the right or left side.- And it looks good!! There is nothing "cheap" looking or feeling about it!The only cons I can think of is that the guard railing for the top bunk does not solidly connect, so there is a little "play" and it does wobble a bit. But that is one of the few parts that is not permanent (e.g., later it will be removed). And it will absolutely keep my kid from falling off the bed - so it does what it is meant to do. I just needed to find at least one "con"! :) Oh, and one other note, when I was putting the bed together I noticed gray marks all over the new white surface and couldn't figure out why... It was my wedding band - for some reason it left a mark, but cleaned off easily. So if you see strange gray marks, it may be from something metal like a wedding band.Other than that - this bed is GREAT and we have no regrets buying it!(On a side note, I went to IKEA and bought picture frame shelves - so they are narrow in width and have a little ledge to keep the frames on the shelf. They come in a shorter and longer length. I put the shorter length above the head part of the wall and the longer length over the wider part and it is a great place for kids to put small items. They are perfect because the shelves are narrow and they have a protective ledge to keep things from falling off. Basically it allows the kids to personalize their space and they love it.)I will update if anything should change, but in the meantime I would absolutely recommend this bed!UPDATE: We have now had this bed for over 2 years. It still looks great, it is still absolutely sturdy, it has no problems or issues - and I still absolutely recommend this bed!!
