Please show me your higher sleeper bed/desk combos for inspiration fro DD's room

I'm trying to redesign DD7's bedroom, it's a big room roughly 13'x13' but awkward with three walls gone to windows and built in wardrobe (part of house so can't be removed). So I'm considering a high sleeper with desk and shelves underneath. She already has a really big built in wardrobe so we don't need one with the high sleeper, but a big desk and shelves are a must. I really like the stuva high sleeper from ikea but the ladder is on the wrong side and cannot be reversed so unfortunately won't fit which is a real shame.

So hit me with your high sleepers as I'm really struggling to find anything suitable, and I'm wary of ordering one online without knowing what the finish is like etc.

We've had a Stompa high sleeper previously - you can get them with everything built in underneath (as a kid of set) or you can buy the frame and add furniture / drawers yourself to tailor it to your child's needs.

We also have the Hastinds midsleeper from M&S which is a bit more grown up - we've hacked that a little bit to take off the sleeping rail across the front (DD was 8 when she started sleeping in it and didn't need a safety rail) and we have the desk permanently out along a wall.

If you or your DH is DIY-savvy, I would suggest buying a Stompa frame (or similar) and customising it to your requirements (position of ladder etc).

sorry for the typos - "kind of set" and "Hastings" from M&S.
