I ordered this for my two girls. It is a streamlined take on the bulkier, similarly styled and more expensive versions sold at popular furniture stores. Great for smaller spaces, as the bed does not dominate the whole room. The instructions are clear enough, when accompanied with some prior furniture assembly experience. Thankfully the stair drawers came pre assembled, which really cut down on assembly time. Between my determined 10 year old and myself it took about 3 hours, though we did need a little more muscle to lift one bed on top of the other. It offers plenty of storage, it is stable and easy to construct (save yourself the $600+).
