It works for us! The bed is sturdy and was fairly easy to put together although the directions were not very clear in some steps and some steps you have to figure out as they are not all listed. One of the storage drawers under the bed broke fairly quickly - within a month or so of having it. It can probably be rigged to fix it but the boards literally split into. If ordering again I would do the trundle under the bed and not drawers that will be pulled out everyday by kids who aren't going to be super careful with them.
