This bed is a great value for the dollars spent. Our 15 year old son needed more space in his room for his growing body and interests. A full loft bed would have left him with no head room. This bed is absolutely perfect for our needs. A little lift so that all dressers and other storage items fit below the bed, make this bed the right choice. It does not off gas as badly as other reviewers have mentioned. It is simple to put together, my son and I (his mother) put it together ourselves in about 5 hours. If only there were a better solution than the weak bolts and weak Allen wrench, it would have been much faster. If you can get a “real” Allen wrench that’s “s” shaped and made of stronger metal, it will go faster. This bed wins the prize for being so simple that you can make any arrangement work underneath it. We are very pleased! Highly recommended.
