This was for my son and the quality was better than I expected. It has a little bit of a smell but it goes away after a day or two of airing out the room. I went with a mattress that was 10.5 inches deep and I wouldn’t go any deeper than that. Otherwise it will cover up the headboard. The headboard has two pieces of boards that are the same and one had a few rough pieces but was able to switch it up so that the less quality piece is on the bottom and not seen with the mattress in place. I also got the matching nightstand and it works great for my son’s room makeover.
