Can the ladder be installed on either end of the bed without leaving behind predrilled holes?

Yes, the ladder can be installed on either side. There are no pre-drilled holes on the bunk for the ladder.

Not really. There are pre-drilled holes on the one side. I suppose you could drill your own on the opposite side and fill the existing holes with putty or something.

Hi, I put a standard queen mattress in the lower bed, it fits fine. Yes the ladder can be moved or taken off completely, it's not fixed to the bed, just hooks on.

Per Kevin at Stromberg Carlson the small hook extrusion that comes with the ladder will attach with a mounting plate to the fascia board to make it a stable non moveable ladder. The large hooks that come with the ladder allow you to clip it over the edge of the bunk without drilling into the fascia board. Hope that answers your question but let us know if you need additional information.Thank you

Not easily. It would take some cutting and custom work. The ladder is also a support beam for the rail. Thus no ladder, the guard rail would not be stable and also would not reach the other end of the bed.

Although the instructions indicate that the ladder can be moved, the holes in the boards will only allow the ladder to be installed on the left, as shown in the picture. However, it would not be too difficult to drill the one additional hole needed to move the ladder to the right.

Yes easily. The side rail facing the ladder comes off . You will need to only fill 4 small holes that are predrilled.

We have the desk side on the right and the drawers on the left under the ladder. We didn't want the desk under the bed. It works great for our situation.

Yes, if you are careful enough and strong enough. Don't stand on the outside of the ladder rungs to raise parts. Use a pulley when possible, so you are pulling down rather than up. Removing parts may be the most difficult safely. Yes there are floor boards. Make sure the outriggers are at 45 degrees and actually bear weight.

Not sure what you mean. If you're asking if you can move the ladder from the 3 drawer dresser and attach it to the two drawer dresser side, the answer is no. The two ends can be changed depending on where you want the front of the bed and the ladder to face but that's it. Sorry, I hope that was helpful. BTW, my 7 year old LOVES her bed. I'm just not that crazy about it. It's not as sturdy as I would like a bed to be and the edges on the top of the bed are kind of sharp. Have to be very careful getting on and off the bed.

You don't have to, but when I bought this, I purchased a ladder separately. It was about $40 and made by the same company. The ladder came with metal hooks that hook over the edge near the bottom of the mattress. I think you could attach it with screws, but we didn't. We move it back and forth. You could also climb up onto the bed from either end, but we have one end against a wall and the other is not very accessible as well.

Yes, because the top of the ladder frame is bolted to a joist. See manufacture for correct size of ladder.

The holes are predrilled and not the same spacing I believe if you switch corner supports during assembly will result in what you want

Short answer: No. The bunk bed (at least ours) is not designed for a left sided ladder mount. With some rigging, the ladder could be probably be placed on the left hand side of the bed, but the real problem is that the side rails on the top bunk cannot be attached to the right side of the bed, so you would climb the ladder and have to climb over the rail. And, you would still have the intended opening for the ladder on the right side of the top bunk.

No, the ladder MUST fit into the space created for it. The end of the top bunk has an opening, that the ladder fits up against. It is curved and very sturdy. It is also screwed down into the bed frame.

The ladder is completely optional. It hooks onto the bed when you're ready.

No, but they can be installed left or right facing so effectively it is like being able to put it at either end, you just have to turn the bed the way you want it.
