I bought this a while back because I was remodeling my daughters room and she wanted a loft bed. I finally got her room remodeled about a month ago and she loves it as well as this bed. It wasn’t difficult to put together as I am 5’4 woman and put it together in about an hour - 1.5 hours all on my own. It is very sturdy as I have gotten on it and rolled around, and I will sometimes lay in it with my daughter. Definitely was a good buy.
