Other reviewers said the bed is easy to assemble but I didnt find it so. One hole early on was blocked and I couldnt get the screw in; two parts were labeled with the same letter even though they were different the long sides of the bed which totally threw off the rest of the build including the stairs which arent parallel: and the slats that go across under the mattress are a total pain to securethe slats are short width/wise and its not clear which part the screws should go into to secure to the frame. It would have been even harder if we didnt have an electric screwdriver. Took several hours to put together and one part at the top is cracking, perhaps because we didnt build it correctly.
Difficulty building and questionable sturdiness aside, the bed looks like it does in the pictures and is simple and cute. The white is more of an off/white / cream color. There is enough room underneath to put a full mattress perpendicular to the loft bed. There is room for a child to play or sleep underneath but not and adult to fully sit up I thought I could read to her underneath but theres not enough overhead clearance. You definitely need a mattress 6 or shorter to be safe; our 11 mattress is much too thick
Read the instructions carefully
