This loft looks great in my daughter's room. We chose the silver and it looks really good with her gray and yellow decor. We then ordered the Emily Futon in white leather from Walmart.com and put under it. She loves it! Easy to assemble I did it basically by myself except for attaching the two bed rails to the end pieces. It took me about an hour and a half. Sturdy bed, only complaint is the ladder hurts feet and I wish it was about 4-5 inches lower si it wasn't so close to the ceiling. However, my daughter is 5'4" and can sit up without hitting her head. Any taller and I think you would have a problem.
