My son LOVES his bed. It was a feat to put together due to the sheer size and number of pieces that had to be assembled. But, the instructions were good. It's solid and good quality. The curtains that hang below the bed are stuck on with adhesive tape and tend to come undone rather frequently. However, I'd still prefer this over being permanently attached, since I imagine my son will eventually outgrow the "castle" aspect of the bed.
