I purchased this queen sized bed as I was moving into a new loft and needed extra storage. I was pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the bed and slats system as well as how easy it was to build. Two people needed. The two drawers are HUGE and you can slide them under any way you like. Keep in mind though, that the spaces underneath that you do not have a drawer is open. The photograph provided does not reflect this. If you have hardwood floors and rock the bed a lot and you need to be discreet I would advice pulling the drawers back or adding a small felt piece to the inside of your drawer to eliminate the sound of the drawers and bed hitting each other.
