My daughter loves this bed, it solves a lot of the space issues in her room which is fairly small.  The desk is great and she is so happy to accessorize herself.  I am less enthused about the bed, I thought she'd be able to use into her teenage years but as it is so close to the ceiling, it probably won't work as she gets bigger (she's currently 9).  It's a sturdy and nice looking piece of furniture but at almost $600 and only a handful of years' use, NOT a great value.
