The bed is exactly as described.  My daughter loves it and it has added more space to her room since we no longer have 2 beds in her room.  Having the trundle underneath has helped give extra space in a small room.  She has more than enough space on the bookcase for all of her trinkets.  Putting the bed together was easy and I did it alone with no help.  I would definitely recommend this bed to anyone looking to save some space in a room.  It is very modern and stylish too.
