K.C.
My son has a loft bed. We really like it. His room is quite small so by putting his bed up we were able to put his dresser underneath. It really opened his room up and gave him more floor space for playing. You can get them with a desk attachment underneath too. The only ones we found that were short enough were at art vann (Dorm-room area). They have a bunch at IKEA, but they were extra tall. He wouldn't have been able to sit up very well. We were really happy with our decision to do a loft, and he thinks it is so cool.
Good luck!!
