My 12 year old daughter has wanted a loft bed forever, and she is so excited.  This one is perfect.  It's really cute.  It was harder to assemble than I anticipated, I'm usually pretty good at that kind of thing. You MUST have 2 people, and 3 would have been better.  The directions are very vague. There are NO extra screws so be careful not to lose any.  It is sturdy, but does wobble slightly  when you climb up or move on the bed so don't put anything that will break on the shelves because they fall off.  But all in all we are very happy.  It was very affordable compared to other sites.  We love it!
