This bed is just what we were looking for. The loft height is perfect for the added storage space underneath, but not too high so changes sheets is still easy. Putting the shelving and dresser can be handled by one person, but assembling the loft requires a second set of hands. I would only rate 4 stars because there are a few faults. Because the wood is so soft, it easily gets marks from things bumping into it. Also, I’m the time that we’ve have it, we have had to tighten the screws on the loft a few times to stop the loft from being squeaky or wobbly. All in all, I would definitely recommend!
