I purchased this bed for my sons. One is 7 years older than the other. This bed is perfect for the both of them. They switch who sleeps on the full top and twin bottom. You can make the top into a full size bed or keep as twin. I received the bed in two days from the time of purchase. Didn't take a super long time to put together either. We chose Espresso for the color and it's absolutely beautiful!!! Love it!!!
