It was pretty much what I was looking for my 14 yo son's room. As mentioned in other reviews the metal base takes some effort to align all of the mounting bolts with the frame. Probably best to ONLY loosely fit the prices until all of the holes align. It appears to be sturdy but time will tell. I would have appreciated if the offered a fitted mattress cover to match.
Update 5/24/17. I am very satisfied with the look and sturdiness of the bed.  I have ordered a second one to complete the L-shaped sofa (bed) set-up for my teenage son's room.  I had been using two standard twin bed frames with the intention of building a unified L-shaped unit.  I feel I can more easily connect two of these with a better result.
