My daughter and I both love this bed and it's exactly what we were looking for!  Her bedroom is pretty small so I used the toddler bed as long as I could and then finally decided on a loft bunk to still give her plenty of play space on the floor.  I put the bed together myself and the directions were very clear and everything was labeled well.  It did take some time putting it together by myself but it wasn't hard.  It feels sturdy and safe and she loves having the ladder.  I like the ladder because it's bolted to the bed instead of a hook like other bunks might have. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and I plan on buying my son one of these this year as well.
