This was on sale for 200 and I feel for that money it is a very high quality product. I was considering building something like this but couldnt even touch it in materials alone much less the time it would take me. The only major downside we found is the ladder only goes in the spot where it is on the picture. In our case we needed it to be on the other side (so the desk can face the window in this particular room/corner). I thought I could reverse it by switching out the cross bars but the cross bars are matched underneath so dont try that or youll end up doing some rework. We ended up putting the ladder on the end of the bed and securing it to the cross poles with wire. Also the bed is just a little wobbly but I plan to anchor it to the wall and that will fix that. Should note the ladder rungs are like 3/4 bars which dig into your feet a bit depending on how much you weigh (doesnt seem to bother the kids as much). Again for the value this is a 5/star product. The beams are totally solid, the machine work and bolt holes are all perfectly accurate, the shelving is quality fiberboard and sturdy, and the mattress we used is perfectly comfortable on it If I had paid 400 I would think its probably still 4/star for that price. My daughter loves it! Exactly what I was looking for.
