We bought this bed for our son who is almost 5. What I like about this bed is the drawers.They are large and slide easily under the bed. I also really like the fact there's a footboard to hide the drawers. What I'm not so crazy about is that the headboard looks like it was assembled (built by the manufacturer) in a hurry. Looks a bit beat up and then the stain was put on. Disappointed in this. Also be aware that unless your mattress fits the opening perfectly, you will easily see the slats around the edges. The bed and drawers were easy to assemble. All in all a 'decent' bed.
