This bed is for my daughter's room.  The room is small and the ceiling is sloped so we needed a low profile bed.  It looks nice and is sturdy.  The drawers are very handy for extra clothes and shoes.  
The package it arrived in was VERY heavy.  I was not able to bring the whole box upstairs so I brought the pieces up a few at a time.  This added to the time it took me to put it together, which was about 2.5 hours.  It wasn't difficult.  The directions were more or less easy to follow.  You need at least three different kinds of screwdrivers to put this bed together.  I had a little problem finding one that fit a particular screw.  All-in-all it wasn't hard and my daughter is thrilled with her new bed!
