My daughter is happy, so I am too overall. It took me about two days to put together by myself. It came in three very heavy boxes, but it is well worth the time and effort -- just be prepared, especially if you plan on building it alone. We live in a second floor apartment, so I had to open each box and take pieces up as I went. The bed as a whole is very sturdy and I feel that my daughter is safe on it or under it. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because I am a little disappointed in the dresser/drawer quality. I received a couple cracked pieces and one of the drawer piece's corner was broken off. Luckily, I was able to make it work; plus it was an inside piece so we can't see it. The drawers also kept coming apart when I was at the end of assembling each one and often look "wonky," as one of the other reviewers below said. Other than that, there is so much storage space, which is great. I also took inspiration from the photos and bought a pressure rod and some short curtains to hang under the bookshelf to make a "tent" for my daughter. She approves!
