My boys love their new bed. The only problems I had was having to tap one of the screw holes because I couldn't get the threads to line up with each other, and having to make new feet for the bed. They said the bottom will hold a 10" mattress, I bought an 8" and still couldn't get the bed to push in. Not a big deal, my ex husband made new feet for it and it's perfect now. This bed looks amazing
