My daughter loves the bed. However, I have 3 complaints. First, the connected ladder on the ends don't have an opening to climb through so you have to climb over the guard rail. My daughter does not seem to mind but it is a minor inconvenience. Second, the desk and keyboard tray is a little flimsy. I can see the keyboard tray breaking real soon as the screws are not very deep. I imagine the desk will last longer. Last, the instructions could be made more clear. Be careful on the top railings to ensure it is facing the correct way. I made the mistake and had to take it down to correctly attach bookshelf. The loft bed feels sturdy. It is definitely a space saver in my daughter's room.
