We really like the bed, it looks great in our room and feels sturdy. The lights worked great and it was super easy to put together. It actually took me twice as long to get everything out of the boxes as it did to put it together. The only concern we had was that I asked if it could be used with a box spring and they said it could. When we put the mattress and the box spring on the bed it came up to my arm pits. The pillows would have been inside of the book case. We are using just the mattress now. So now i have a box spring that I don't have anything to do with. Other than that the bed looks great.
