For the price it is great! My daughter loves it. Its a good size and you can use your twin mattress from the last bed. Double bonus there. Looks great, frees up alot of floor space to have more space. Took 5 hours total to put together. Not hard at all and I did it myself in 3 nights. One side one night and so on. The only thing I will say is this is not a big wood bed so for sturdiness you MUST screw it into the wall or it wiggles and jiggles almost so you feel it will flip. Once I screwed it in it was firm and we were not scared or intimidated at all being up high. Very nice purchase that should last a few years.
