We wanted to give our two girls that share a room their own space. Not only did it give them their own personal space it has opened up the rest of the room to play or hang out. We no longer need desks and bookshelves because it’s already apart of their area. I’m not entirely sure they’ve left their rooms today! The only thing is that the ladder does hurt their feet as the other reviews do say as well but we know we can creatively find a way to cushion the ladder. Definitely would buy again!
