This bed is very cute and only 4 1/2 feet off the ground, leaving plenty of headroom.  My daughter loves the bed and the little roll out desk.  However, the bed took 4 hours to assemble and is not as sturdy as I hoped. We ended up putting plywood underneath the mattress to reinforce the thin metal rods holding it up.  Instructions say the maximum weight is 250 lbs, but that would be pushing it.
