We got this for our 17-year-old son. He put it together completely by himself. He really likes the way it looks and the storage at the bottom. The only problem is this is supposed to be a queen, and we believe we have a queen mattress - if not a full - and the bed frame is longer than the mattress. We found this to be odd that the mattress does not fit properly. Typically the difference between full and queen is width, not length. Regardless, he is thrilled with the bed.
