I should have measured the height it’s alittle lower than I prefer for my 7 year old. I can see myself giving this to my younger child in a couple years and getting a more age appropriate height bed for the older child. However, it was relatively easy to put together within an hour and pretty sturdy. I would recommend using a drill for the last step because there’s 24 screws that need to be put in  the instructions picture a screwdriver￼.
