Using this bunk bed is a breeze. For the upper bed, simply use the sturdy stairway to climb up. When it's time to get down, you can either use the stairs or have some fun with the slide. For the lower bed, since it's close to the floor, it's easy to get in and out. When assembling, make sure to follow the instructions carefully as full assembly is required. As for weight, don't exceed 150lb on the upper bed and 200lb on the lower bed. To keep the bed in good condition, clean it regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the solid pine wood and MDF. Also, check the guardrails and stairway railing periodically to ensure they're secure.
