This is an awesome bed for my 4 and 3 year old boys who share a room.  Previously, their mattress and box spring were just on the floor, but when we wanted to get them their first real bed frame, this emerged as the winner.  They love that it's lofted and I love that it's low enough that they won't get hurt.  I actually put this together by myself and it was really fairly straightforward and easy, even though there were about 6 different boxes of various sizes that arrived.  Tips for assembly: keep the items from each box together but separate from all the other boxes.  For this bed, there are two sets of instructions - you need to follow the first set for the lower lot part and then the second set for the bed itself.  It is a beautiful bed, very sturdy and fits perfectly in our space!
