This was a little time consuming to put together. I purchased this due to our third bedroom being pretty small. It was functional for what we needed. My kids both used this at one point when trading rooms. My daughter used the underneath for like a hang out with curtains around the bottom for her and her friends. My son had a desk with computer underneath for gaming and homework. My son is 6 ft 175 lbs and my daughter is  5 ft 4 inches and 115 lbs. Although they both were well below the weight limit the bed was very wobbly. I think this would be great for smaller children for sure maybe 50 lbs or less due to stability.
