My son loves his new low loft bed! It was the perfect choice for us as he has a small room with a ceiling fan. The low loft with storage underneath allows for him to have extra floor space and yet is not too high so that it's dangerous with the ceiling fan. In addition, we love the fact that the desk can be removed permanently. We have put it in another part of the room and now he has a special "hideout/fort" beneath it. So much fun! There was two of us putting it together. It took about five hours and we used a power drill.
