The bed is much larger than expected. It did take quite awhile to put together (our fault by not reading through the instructions first!)  We love the look and comfort. We bought the 10” mattress for the top and the 8” for the Trundle (perfect fit) as suggested by another review. Making the beds with sheets etc. was not the easiest but we will only be using this occasionally for our grandchildren. 
This bed looks beautiful in our newly painted and carpeted room and the grandkids love it too!
We are absolutely thrilled with this purchase and highly recommend this Trundle bed.
