I love it the bed for my grandchildren. You don’t have to worry about them falling out of the bed when the are little and it is full size so they can use it all the way through adolescence. I definitely recommend a memory foam mattress because the fit very snug inside the frame so you’ll need that flexibility. The cubbies are not meant for regular size books. The reason I can’t give it 5 stars is because the 2 screws that connect the headboard and side together were too short. It was so odd. I double checked they were the right screws many times. I ended up getting a couple screws and wing nuts at the local hardware store to replace the factory screws. It was a pain. That’s the last thing you want to happen when you are assembling something.
