This was for my 10yr old boys' room. He loves it. We got the white and it looks very nice. My husband assembled it without much difficulty. It feels well constructed, doesn't really shake. It creeks if he is restless when sleeping but really not enough to be concerned about. We have a small computer desk with chair, as well as another comfortable chair underneath. We hung curtains around the bottom (from the inside, thin curtain wire from Ikea) which gives him privacy and feels like a fort to him. We have had for over a year, no issues. Purchasing another one for his brother for the same room (and it's a small room). It's a great space saver for sure!! It's probably 5 stars but I don't give that unless nothing needs to be improved. We will be attaching  a piece of wood to upper head side so he can put a lamp and clock on it. Great product otherwise.
