We bought two of these for our boys (3yr and 6yr). They love it! I like the loft style for the space underneath and extra space to play if they play in their room. Its also not too high since I know a regular sized one would be too high for them. My husband didnt have any trouble putting them together. It took him maybe 2 hours for each one. The bed is sturdy and seems like it will hold up for a long time.
