We purchased this bed for our 8 year old son. We got rid of his bunk bed and wanted a bed that would fit the exsisting mattress. The Newbury Collections Bed Box did just that. It met our needs exactly. [...] was fairly easy to assemble. It took about 2 hours. We have not filled the draws as yet, they seem a bit unsecure/thin. Not as steardy as I had hoped.
