This bed was perfect for my grandson's room (early birthday gift in an effort to get ready for new baby brother!).  Easy to assemble, comes with all the tools to do so, and very sturdy.  It looks like an antique from years ago.  Everyone loves it and the price was unbeatable!  We used both a mattress and box spring on this bed. It has decent storage space underneath it, too.  A win-win purchase.
