I got my bed just 1 week after I purchased it and it had to grow on me a bit because it was a drastic change in height from what I previously owned. It is really, and I mean really, low (and I'm 5'3''), but now I Love it!  I just ordered a dresser from here to add to it because my room is so bare. But, I think by the time that comes in and I finish decorating the walls, the completed look will make it even better. Overall the bed itself is pretty and very sturdy. My husband and his friend put it together in like an hour or less. If you're open to the platform style (in other words lowness in height) then I would definitely recommend this bed. Great quality for the price!
