It’s ok, it was somewhat easy to assemble and it works for the space it’s in. The only drawbacks besides when I climb the ladder to check my 5 yr old nightly and have to do this and try to rearrange him with covers is not always an easy task ...  but CHANGING THE SHEETS IS A NIGHTMARE! Extremely difficult. I hadn’t taken that into account when I got the bed for him. It usually takes my husband and I as a team to get it done so I’m not at it all day.
