im 22 years old, in my first apartment on my own. decided it was time to get my mattress off of the ground, and make my room more adult-ish. i was very glad this bed was on sale, and for a good price too! my biggest praise is that the bed showed up almost a whole 2 weeks before the estimated delivery date i was expecting. came in 2 easy to navigate boxes and the instructions were easy enought for myself to figure out. it did take me about 2 hours to build but iv never had to make any furniture on my own and im under 5 ft 100 lbs so it was alot of manuevering for me, but i got it done before dinner! my only con about the bed is that its sitting on metal poles, so i need to go and get a small thin box spirng as to not ruin my mattress from sitting on the poles over time
