Seems like a very sturdy piece. We got the full bed up top and loft opening at the bottom. I like the extra drawers for storage and for now we have the underneath open as a play area for my daughter. Will be nice to use as a desk when she is older. The only negative is that the back side of the attached dresser drawers is very unfinished. Almost like a painted particle board or cardboard. Since it is out in the open this really should be finished like the rest of the piece.
