My daughter loves her bed. It was a little higher than we thought but it’s really sturdy. I was able to get up there with her and not feel like we were going to fall through. I also put it together on my own with the help of my daughter to hold an end up so I could connect a part. That step you really need two people but other than that it can be a one person job. There was only one screw part on the desk that I couldn’t connect because of a piece of wood was in the way but it’s still holding up since there were two screws intended for the area. Highly recommend this bed for to make the most of floor space.
