Excellent quality for the price.  My daughter is 11 years old and loves her new bed and hideway.  The bed took awhile to assemble, but is made of quality durable materials and doesn't creak.  The only issue is that I wish they had made the ladder with flat rubber padding rather than metal round rods.  It hurts your feet climbing up and down and when she's tired and needs to rush out of bed, she could fall when half asleep.  I'm sure she's going to get tired of the climbing up and down within a year and will just end up sleeping on a mattress underneath.
