I gave this bed four stars because the build combined with the price makes this even out. The bed was fairly easy to assemble. I would not recommend this bed for teenagers however. The construction is pretty solid but it feels a little unstable if you are an adult (and trying to get up there to change sheets, consider this when buying a loft bed, it's a pain in the butt, use a step ladder if you have one). Other than that, the finish seems to scratch pretty easily.
