I bought this for my son because of the reviews and Im so glad I did. Im a relatively small framed woman with a bad back and I got this thing put together by myself in a couple hours (though I did need help getting the box into the bedroom and getting it opened up, so its not completely a 1-person job). It feels solid, the storage is bigger than I expected, and it hold a 12 inch pillow-top. No complaints. Highly recommend!
