Let me say the only thing I dislike about this bed is it could be a little higher but thats because Im tall.  I put this bed together by myself in probably 2 hours which considering im a 52 year single mom with arthritis was pretty quick.  Its sturdy and stable.  In fact my 10 yr old daughter has decided she wants to sleep with me instead of her room.  The light are cute but werent a deal breaker but on red they make a subtle night light since my daughter doesnt like complete darkness.  I love the plug ins for my phone and the shelf is great for me to put my glasses and other things since I dont currently have a bedside table.  For the price you cant beat this bed.  Totally considering getting a full size for my daughter.  If you are thinking about it for ahead.  You wont be disappointed!
