With 8' ceilings, there is plenty of room at the top for sitting up and moving around for my 10 year old, who's a little tall for her age. A little time consuming but overall easy to assemble. Fairly sturdy without brackets but definitely want to use them. Longer brackets are needed for our use, as the bed is next to a window frame at one end.
