This bed is sturdy and looks nice.  It fits well in my daughter's room with an 8 foot ceiling with enough space above and below.  The desk is huge and has a great workspace.  My only complaints are that it was extremely difficult to put together (even for someone who has put together more than my fair share of allen wrench furniture).  The instructions are bad and some of the holes weren't drilled exactly right.  We also got the dark color and it scratches easily.
