Purchased bed for 16-year old son.  Bed seems sturdy and well made for the most part.  Assembly wasn't too difficult but some of the instructions were a little opaque.  Took around 3 hours for 2 people to assemble.  My son really likes the bed and the cool lights.  The shelf on the headboard is smaller than I expected and doesn't seem as useful as it could have been if it was a couple inches wider.
