Great piece for a kids room. Not real wood so its time will be limited. But if you don't want to spend thousands, this is a great alternative. I am hoping to get 4-5 years out of it. The bed will definitely last that long. The drawers and hands, might me another story. But having storage as part of the bed is awesome. Huge drawers for clothes or whatever you would like to put in them. I just wouldn't put heavy stuff in them as that will lower their life expectancy.
