It's pretty lightweight and little lower to the ground than I expected, but it's for my daughter so it works well.  Would be a bit low as a guest bed.  I didn't like having to drill holes for part of the set-up, but it wasn't a big deal (would be if you didn't have a drill, though).  I paid around $260 for the bed, which is about the right price, in my opinion. I would likely buy it again.
