Absolutely love the beds. They were better then I expected. They are high beds. I'm 5ft2in and whilst standing (with mattress) you are basically sitting on the bed. For me, love it. Maybe not for everyone. the instructions were pretty straight forward and I am relatively DIY illiterate but found you do need decent drill to get through the wood. Which is probably a good thing. The storage which concerned me is amazing. Loads of it, sturdy and versatile. You would be surprised what you can fit in there.
