Mixed feelings about this bed. I love the look.. it is modern and a bit rustic and my son loves it and everybody who sees it also. But that is where all the positive ends. This is particle board, it is attach like ikea furniture and I know it is not going to last. My teenage son it is careful not to put a lot of pressure on the back board since it is not the sturdiest thing and after a year it creaks every time he moves. He is only 84 lbs so really is not his weight. I gave it 3 stars because I love the look but I wouldnt purchase it again
