The bed looks really nice and the lights work but this thing with not easy to put together.  The instruction that came with it were terrible.  It took two days and three different people working on it to get it done.  The drawers do not attach to the bed.  The drawers are on wheels and they just slide under the bed.  You can use the bed with or without the drawers.  We are using it with a full size mattress in a box and no box spring.  My son says it's very comfortable and he really likes it.  It does seem to be made well just difficult to put together.
