This bed was easy to put together and is very strong and sturdy. It is a little lower to the floor then I was expecting, however it is still a good size for my 5  year old. You do not need to provide a box spring which is good, but I might use one in a few years just to make the bed a little taller as my Daughter gets bigger. All in all a very good product!

Pros: easy assembly, sturdy, strong.
Cons: Lower to the floor then expected
