This is a beautiful and functional bed. I bought it because I already had a full mattress and box and don't want to get rid of it. It was a 4 hour setup but that's because my hubby and I were doing it. Once it was done it was perfect and the boys are totally lovibg it. Plus the top bunk is not too high and the side rails are perfect for me to have peace of mind about my child falling out of the top bunk.
