I bought this for my grandsons stays and, having downsized to about 33 of the space I had been in, I knew this would be a good value. It has essentially added an additional 12/15sqft of space. Right now Im overwintering my houseplants underneath it with grow lights hanging from the bars and my hanging plants can also hang there between grandson visits. The little desk can be an office or crafts space once I get the plant situation sorted out better. I like that its (extremely sturdy) powder/coated metal so additional humidity from the plants wont affect it. I actually show this item to plant people who dont even have kids: not only can you use it for plants but you could even create an indoor mini/greenhouse by hanging shower curtains or tarps around the edges to hold in humidity. It can be a guest bed (especially in queen size; this is twin) in a spare bedroom while also allowing use of that space for office, crafts, additional storage, etc. or just use the top for storage if you dont have an attic—so many ideas of how to use this item even without using it for a bedThink outside the box.
Get it for your college/bound kid then save it for their kids once theyve graduated and started a family. It really is a very good buy that Im so pleased with.
So glad I purchased it
