I loved the look of this bed from the moment first saw it online. My husband was not sold, but was it arrived and we saw just how sturdy and well built it is, his mind was changed. I love that you don’t need to use a boxspring if you don’t want to which works perfectly for our five year old son. The bed is no too high off the ground. Very impressed with how well built the bed is. It was also very easy to put together.
