The bed was very high.  The pictures were deceiving and this twin bed is way too high for my 10 year old.  Unfortunately, I didn't know this would be the case until after my frie d put it together.  I had no one to take it apart then, the box was ripped up and dont know how to return such a big thing anyway.  My original thought was to try this out and then get my other boy this bed too so they had matching beds.  Now that its together I don't even want it in our guest room.
