I bought two of these loft beds for my kids that share a room. We co slept for way too long so we needed something fun that would entice them a little bit. The beds are great space savers and very easy to assemble. I did one myself in a few hours but asked my 7 year to help me hold the long and heavy metal pieces in place for me and it took less than an hour. For the money, the beds are very sturdy and worth every cent.
