6/10 Okay
"Microwave was installed very high above the kitchen counter. Anyone below 5 ft. 6 inches tall could not safely use it. Metal skit underneath bed would squeak or pop anytime you set on or got out of the bed. Very little drawer space for clothing. Not trash can underneath the kitchen sink."
