As mentioned by others, it is definitely low to the ground...if I was handier and could add a little height to it, that would be nice....but in retrospect, it will actually work well as a transitional sleeping spot for our grandson when he visits. It probably wouldn't work well for an adult, but for a child, it will work just fine. It was inexpensive and fits the spots we had, so I can't really complain. It folds down and up easily.
