Loft is great, and is loved by daughter.   The driftwood color is grey and not brown as pictured.   The texture on the wood is slightly rough.   There are areas I am concerned could get splinters.   I also asked rep prior to purchase if dresser could face inward and was told yes.   So I built it that way and now the desk portion cannot attach, making it now useless.  Paid extra to be able to have desk underneath.
