Nice sturdy bed for my 7 year old.  Purchased the expresso color.  His dad put it together, it didnt seem too complicated.  I expected the space below the loft would seem larger for him to play under there, I did not read the height measurements before purchasing, seems a little low, but works well for storage.  I got the full, so its a big bed.  A twin would have worked better I think to give his room more space and the storage area wouldn't be so deep.  Overall satisfied with purchase and recommend.
