For the price it seems like a good buy. It's all particle board, so I don't expect a long life from it. I like the support given by the slats, its makes for a firm sleep. It's sturdy which is great, and its fairly low to the ground so as a 5'3" woman it's easy to get in and out of. The aesthetic is pleasant, although the hard edges make for a lot of shin bruises. The under drawers were a disappointment: there's only 2 drawers on one side, why not on the other? They wont fit a comforter, which was the main reason I wanted built in storage, and the rest of the base goes all the way to the floor so there's no way to store other containers beneath the bed: in short a lot of wasted space that I'd expected to utilize for storage. The headboard is great, lots of room to store things and the side shelves are a nice place to hide small personals.
