Pretty bed and easy to set up.  I am happy with what I received, considering the price.  Base seems fairly solid, but I would not trust it to survive if several teenage kids were hyperactive on it.  I am nervous that the bed will not survive high school, but that is just conjecture.  The biggest surprise was realizing that the selling picture is a false configuration - the bed requires a separate box spring, which is not included in the picture, so the mattress will end up being another 10 inches elevated (height of box spring) compared to the foot and head boards.  In other words, the entire mattress will sit above the height of the top of the foot board.  As a result, the bed looks more like a platform bed than like a panel bed.
