This bed has a high metal cage surrounding the upper bunk, which is good. The entire bed is about 6 lower than another futon bunk bed that we have. I would prefer that it be higher, because adults may have to duck when getting out of the futon sofa. It also sits lower to the floor, which means less underbed storage. Our other futon bunk bed has unobstructed 10.5 clearance below the futon, which means we can easily put a trundle bed or storage under it.
Most of these bunk beds will move if the person above moves around a lot, but the bed is not in danger of collapsing. Assembly is not for the faintofheart, but my 15 year old son put it together in about 3 hours.
One nice thing is that there is a ladder on BOTH ends of the bed, so if you move it, there is still a ladder at the end of the bed! Most bunk beds have only one ladder.
Overall, Im happy with my purchase.
