Our grandson's room is small enough that this works well for him & he's thrilled with it.  Installation took 4 hours for two strong men; instructions were ok but hole locations were hard to determine.  Bed appears sturdy so far after 1 week's use & the workstation has lots of room.  The loft is tall enough that we plan to install a shelf on the wall so he has a place for a reading light, book, snacks, and "stuff" within reach.
