We needed a bed for my sons small room, one that we could put his wide dresser under to save floor space. I was worried about a very high loft bed, and this was the perfect solution. This bed feels very sturdy, strong, doesnt wobble, great quality. We got it in black. It is twin size, but my 5 year old is a small little guy, and his bed is always covered in Thomas the train engines everywhere. So, my husband built the bed, then instead of putting a twin mattress on it, we had a piece of plywood cut to the size of a twin mattress, and covered it tightly with a soft microfleece sheet. Then we put his crib mattress up there, which we still had. He sleeps on the crib mattress, since he still fits on it, and the rest of the platform is, of course covered with all his train tracks and Thomas the train engines, and an aquarium light with the fish swimming by, that he leaves on all night. He is so happy with it, he never complains about going to bed. I bought this for a small room and have a large dresser under, quite wide, and 35 tall. I just pulled the dresser flush to the front. I put a big tote box behind the dresser, and I store less used toys in it. To one side of the dresser I put a bean bag chair, and have my childs TV near the bed. He loves sitting in the bean bag in his little hideaway cave reading books or watching TV I loved this bed, it was a great purchase because it is not so high that I worry about him. It is just the right height for me to be able to tuck him in, he is right at my eye level, standing up.
Excellent Quality, sturdy bed
