This a sturdy, well built product. My child is comfortable with it. The shelf alongside the bed allows her to keep several items like her alarm clock and tissues. The ladder rungs do double duty as shelving for the alcove below. Its low profile gives my kid plenty of room above and just enough room for her below. It’s a good design. 

The assembly is well planned but there is difficulty in tightening many of the screws. Some of them are angled close to an obstruction which means there is a lot of fighting with the Allen wrench. Be prepared for some pained fingers at the end of construction. 

I would recommend not fully tightening any of the screws until everything is connected. There are a few connectIons that aren’t precise and you will need a little give. Then after tightening everything it will work out very nicely.
