We decided to assemble the bed as a family project, and I must say it takes quite a bit of work — but it was worth it for the joy it brought to our son. However, the space underneath has very limited height, and at most a 6-year-old child can fit comfortably. Our son is 8, and he cannot stand under the desk area. I imagine this style of bed is really best suited for younger children. We will likely need to replace it soon, as the space underneath has become almost useless given our son’s height. He did enjoy it while it lasted. One of the hinges on the storage steps also broke rather easily, without much effort. I would say this bed is worth it if your child is 8 or younger, keeping in mind that the space underneath won’t be usable for long. Consider whether it’s worth the cost, since it isn’t exactly a cheap bed. Overall, the product is good — just a bit complicated to assemble.

Garbage I spent hours putting this together. Labels fall off of prices so you have to figure out what’s what. My son is 100 lbs went right through the first step.
