I could not be happier with this bed.  It was a little larger than I had anticipated (luckily I did not buy the big comfy chair I had my eye on, as it would not have fit in the room).  The bed is so large, it would need to be disassembled to move it out of its current room.  My son, who just turned 4 needs a step stool to climb into bed.  I purchased the one with 6 drawers underneath, so it doubles as a dresser.  One feature with this setup that is not easily noticeable in the pictures is that the drawers only go back about half way.  Behind the drawers on either side are two doors.  We currently use one side for all of the bedding storage, and my son likes to crawl into the other side.  We purchased the merlot color, and it has a beautiful finish.  The mattress is well supported, but the center support was slightly warped.  We were still able to attach it to the top and bottom without any issue, it just looks odd when you take off the mattress.
