Bought 2 of these for my (5 year old) twins and they are perfect. Assembly was relatively easy. It could be easier if you have wood clamps for the last few steps. We decided to put the dressers in another part of the room and install the bookshelves facing inward, so the kids could each have a reading nook under their bed.  The only thing I don't like about these beds is that some of the edges are a bit sharp to the touch.
