We are happy with this bed, and most importantly our daughter LOVES it. Putting it together was easy, there were only a few times when my husband needed my help to hold things in place on one end while he worked on the other end. The bed looks great, sturdy enough for a kid, but there is no way that a parent could snuggle with the child. (the weight limit is mentioned in the description too). It is just the right height for our 4 year old where she does not have to climb too high. We are working on creating the nook under the bed and saving adding the curtain at a later time for extra surprise.  I will say that the paint is uneven and there are several scratches on the bed. So it is not perfect but we can live with it and might touch up at some point. Overall, I would definitely recommend this bed!
