Lovely cabin bed. It's a nice height so when I sing songs to my son in bed I am a nice height standing next to the bed to see him and it also makes it manageable changing the bed covers etc. It's good quality pieces and feel strong and like it will last a long time. Took me a while to build but I was doing it on my own until the bit where I attached the bed to the sleeper. My boys love the den underneath and there are two lovely little book shelves under there at either side. I like the ladder in that it is totally secured to the bed, not just hanging off the edge of the bed and moving about when you climb up it, which is my memory of these types of beds when I was younger. Would definitely recommend this bed, my son loves it.
