Overall we really like this bed.  We bought the full size as an upgrade from a twin for our daughter.  The storage in the headboard is what she really needed!  She likes the grown up look of the bed. It was easy to assemble (though the instructions COULD be a little more clear).  This bed does not require a box spring for the mattress, which was an added bonus.  The bed seems to be sturdy and well built.  The storage drawers do not have a track (wheels that glide on the carpet only).  This is fine for my daughter's room, as she has hard floors, but for a room with plush carpet, it could be an issue.  We are finding that the drawers tend not to want to slide in and out in alignment with each other--likely due to them not having a track.  Not a deal breaker by any means, but something to think about!
