My son outgrew his bunk bed and this platform was a great solution. It worked for us because his bed was against the wall.  If you have both sides open, this may not be what you want.  The drawers only pull out on one side and the drawers go just a little further than half the depth of the bed.  We used the long "wasted space" in the back to store long objects he didn't use very often (bb gun...) and when he needs to get to them he just pulls the drawers out. The price and quality were very reasonable as we were not looking for heirloom furniture in a teen boys room.  I would say the quality is 30%  better than IKEA as a point of reference.
