We love this loft bed. However, please note it's a medium height. As in my 2nd grader cannot stand up underneath it. Please read the dimensions to reduce disappointment. We like the low height because he's still able to make his bed with ease. Frees up floor space in a small room. We are very happy with it. This single parent did put this together all by herself but did need a little assistance from her two helpers towards the end to hold things in place. Don't see how it could be a true 1 person job. Took about 90 min.
