We love this bed frame, it was gift for my son who is 6 now. It is not too tall, he can stand on the bed and not hit his head on the ceiling, which is great cus it’s not too far off the ground. It does makes some noise when you move around in it but not loud enough that you could hear it in the next room. The opening under the bed can fit another mattress or a love seat sofa, it looks amazing in his room and is very comfortable to sleep on. It was very easy to put together however I do not recommend trying to put it together on Christmas Eve. Once built it is very sturdy and can hold a lot of weight, you should definitely consider getting this bed if your looking for more floor space or a bunk bed for younger children.
