We purchased this bed for our 16 year old. She loves it. The downside to this bed is there are many parts and it takes a while to put it together. My 16 year old did it by herself with no problems. She did mention that the bed must be perfectly squared for the drawers to fit properly. She had read that there were several people that had problems with drawers not fitting correctly. Be prepared to spend about 3 hours putting this together.
