This bed was chosen for its two storage baskets at the foot of the bed and the built in USBoutlet on the headboard.  My son needed an upgrade and this was a great choice. It had a lot of pieces to put together,  so it took some time. My husband is pretty efficient when it comes to these kinds of things, and it took him over an hour to put it together. Regardless,  it is still a great choice for someone looking to replace their current bed.
