My daughter is in LOVE with this bed. I wish there was more cushioning on the panels, but for the price it is perfect.  We added a taller mattress to the top, but then when we pull out the trundle we put the tall mattress on the bottom and it becomes SUPER BED because both mattresses become the same height.  

Some of the wood for the base slats is glued together and one piece did crack after it was jumped on (it was repeated several times NOT TO JUMP ON THE TRUNDLE BED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT HAVE SPRINGS, but I must have been on mute because......CRACK).

Cost for value equation is strong for this bed for me.
