My 9-yr old loves his new loft bed!  It seems like good quality so far, no complaints.  Sturdy enough even to hold an adult.  Like the natural color.  We added Ikea trofast wall shelves to go underneath and made a "boy cave" where he can play his video games, watch TV and just hang out with friends.  Husband said it wasn't difficult to assemble just time consuming (couple/few hours).
