Overall we are very pleased with the bed.  It is functionally perfect for our needs.  Our daughter loves it and it will be able to grow with her.  This will be her toddler, kid and teen bed.  It's a great value considering how many years of use we will get out of it.

The only negative comments I would make would be directed to the manufacturer.  A few of the screw holes were out of line making it difficult to assemble and there were no covers for the screw heads so you can see black spots all over a white bed.
