This bed was purchased for my very tall 15 year old son.  His room is small and he needed a desk and bookshelf.  I had to get rid of the dresser and therefore had to look for a storage bed for him, at this age.  He put it together in less than two hours.  The drawers were smooth and the finish was very nice.  The bed looks great.  He put the box spring on, though unnecessary, and then the mattress. This allowed the cover to fit the bed well, without tucking it in, as pictured.  He has easy access to the drawers and the bed looks neat and tidy. I tried out the bed.  I think the bed gives the mattress even better support.  He is thrilled and I am too.  

Pros: Great value, finished nicely and accommodates my very tall, lean and strong son.
Cons: I wish I knew what headboard to buy to go with it.  I hate to guess.  I would like a recommendation.
