The quality is pretty decent for the price.  A few of the holes didn’t quite line up and that was hard to deal with, with the metal frame.  Nearly half of the plastic slat connectors broke when I tried to install them (even gently), and the ladder was missing two end caps, but I called and the replacement parts are being sent out right away.  The height is great for my daughter’s small room, which has a ceiling fan.  The fan would be an issue over a full height loft bed.  She is 9 and there is enough room to put a mattress and pillows underneath for a cozy corner/sleepover second bed/fort.  The ladder is uncomfortable because the rungs aren’t flat.  It looks great in her room though and she is excited.
