I bought the full size for my son. He is 15 and put it all together himself. It sits low but has a modern look with lots of storage to allow for a more tidy room. The loss of star is due to one of the tufted buttons on the headboard was hanging by its string and will need to be re-secured (once I figure out how to accomplish that!) The defect wasn't worth the massive re-boxing effort that exchanging would have required and my son does not seem to care.
