I like the simplicity of the design of this bed.  Which is why I purchased it for a boys room.   But once we put it together I felt the product was much too flimsy for a 6 year old boys room.  And for that reason I dont recommend the bed.  It was just too wobbly and the wood would kinda bend easily if you grabbed it and shook it.  Boys will be boys, and so for that reason I just didn't see how it would hold up.
