while this bed is cheaper than other sets similar it does have its faults. For one its creaky when assembled correctly even when the hardware is tight. Second its not real wood so several of the pieces come with small nicks and scrapes exposing the film of fake wood like stuff of the surface of the MDF board. Overall it looks nice and my son loves it, especially the empty space behind the shelf and drawer unit. He gets under there with a blanket and pillow and uses it as a fort to hide from his sister which is cute and fun. The color is nice and the height of the loft is perfect for my son who sleeps all over the place. The desk however is not convenient. I wanted a loft bed with a desk so my son could use it for his remote learning but Im afraid to even let him pull it out because the guides that hold the surface of the desk on to the bed dont hold the desk very well. If he pulls it out even a little bit uneven it will fall from the guides. Im sure I can ghetto rig it to stay in when he pulls it out but this is what it does with the pre/drilled holes. Adding more holes only makes a flimsy bed even flimsier. If youre looking for a presentable more affordable bed this is the one to go with but if you would like one to be more sturdy and hold up a bit longer try spending a little more money and go with one of better quality. Definitely worth it.
decent for the price
