Great for a teenager sharing a room with a toddler.
We bought this for our daughters 10th birthday. She shares a room with her younger sister who is a year old. We decided that she needed more of her own space within the room. To do that is hard in a 10x12 bedroom. My wife did a lot of research on beds with idea that a loft bed would provide more room. We choose this one for the desk and that it was a full sized mattress because we did not want to buy a new mattress.
It took about 4 hours to get put together and the instructions are not the best but I have dealt with worse. To hide the surprise, I started building in the garage and then moved the completed sides to the bedroom to complete when she was not home. I was able to complete the whole thing by myself with the tools provided.
We love that it has 2 ladders and have hung a shower curtain around the bottom of the mattress to give privacy and 2 chairs. One for the desk where she works on her legos and art projects and the other is a comfy folding chair for her to read it. She loves it and has decorated it. It fits a small book shelf under it but I have to fasten it to the bed frame since the bottom of the frame has bars that keeps it away from the wall.
The bed is very solid. More that I expected it to be for the price. I have been up on it at 230 pounds and it held solid. I can shake it but it does not have the feel of a frame that will collapse. It works well and has lasted with no issues so far. Will recommend it for other looking for a bit more room.
