Overall we are happy with the bed. My son is only 6, so he is in heaven. I wish I would have paid more attention to the footboard, to me it looks a bit cheap. I like the bookcase headboard, it makes it look classier and stores all his books and video games. The drawers move smoothly and we were able to get rid of his dresser and now his room has more space. The delivery was on time and it took awhile to put together, but was pretty easy.
