My son loves his bed!! This took about two hours to put together and looks great. One star off for two reasons - 1. This bed is about 6 inches longer than a standard twin mattress. So one end of the mattress ends up hanging off the slat and sagging down. 2. It's a little wobbly, but it doesn't seem at risk of breaking or anything. My husband reads bedtime stories to our son up there and it holds both of their weights fine.
