I bought this for my 5 year old daughter after her old bed broke. She will be sharing a room when my youngest moves out of her crib. It is the perfect height for her, tall enough to be fun, but not so tall that its scary, and she has plenty of headroom to sit up and crawl around. An 8 inch mattress fit well with plenty of room to tuck in bedding and still have enough height on the top bunk railings.
The bed is very for this price point, and looks nice. It ships in two separate large boxes, is heavy, and takes up a good bit of room when unassembled. It took us about 4 hours to assemble, as some of the pieces were mislabeled and we mixed up pieces from the top and bottom beds. I would recommend laying them out prior to assembly and checking the labeling so you dont have to take it apart to re/assemble. Some of the screw holes werent drilled correctly and we had to re/drill them.
Overall its a great bed for the price. The problems were minor, and easily fixed.
Edited to add:
We separated the beds this July because the ladder was starting to pull out of the beds after 3 1/2 years of being played on by my two kids and their friends.
The beds were both in good condition until a couple weeks ago. My 9 yo and two of her friends were jumping on her bed and broke the frame.
We got our moneys worth. We knew they werent going to hold up like beds, but it we were looking at 800/1500 for those.
pretty bed
