This bed is not something that you're going to pass down to your kids.  However, it's a good value for what you pay - in the vein of Ikea.  Easy to assemble (took me about 45 minutes by myself), and seems sturdy.  The fabric is nicer than I was expecting.   I don't think it's going to fall apart any time soon.  I have a 12" mattress, and that's really too high.  It covers the bottom row of buttons.  An 8" would be better.  Whoever engineered the packaging is brilliant, and deserves a shout out.
