got this bed for my 11 year old son, I got the maple color because the darker was out of stock, glad I did it looks great not to yellow. sturdy & easy to put together. The only negative is that the trundle wheels are small making it hard to pull out on rug. assembly was easy & drawers came assembled in 1 box, 3 boxes for entire bed. put it together with the help of my husband in less than an hour.
