Good overall. The slide sticks out 57.5 from the bed. The instructions say to use a mattress no more than 6 tall - our existing twin was too tall, had to get another. Slide is rated to 150 lbs, bed to 200 lbs. You can put a second mattress on the floor underneath it, but there's little head room, can't sit up under there. My 5 year old son loves it. Plays around on the slide much more than I thought he would - it's noisy, because it's wood. Only unexpected drawback it that the height of the bed makes it difficult (for the grownup) for cosy bedtime story reading. A bedside chair is a little low. Still, we are happy with it.
