I bought two of these. They're sturdy, functional and nice looking. I recommend a "bunky board" instead of a box spring! Also, putting them together is a big, time-consuming job but it's do-able with two people. It helps if you have a drill with a Phillips screwdriver bit. I love that the ladder can go at either the head or the foot of the bed. There's plenty of room underneath for a beanbag chair.
