This bed opened up a lot of floor space. We have a desk under the bed (not a built in one, just a cheap one we already had). Plenty of head room to sit at a computer chair under the bed. Only complaint is that a stair came a little damaged, we couldn’t tighten it properly and it wobbles. Just ordered a free replacement part today, let’s see if it arrives.... I wish I looked into replacing it sooner, I didn’t realize wayfair made it easy.
