After looking at local retail stores and online we made the decision to purchase this bed. We are thrilled with the way that it looks and the functionality of it. It took a little over two hours to assemble and almost half of it had been dine by my wife and daughter by the time I got home from work. The only negatives that I have for the bed is that the trundle mattress height is somewhat small (7") and the depth of the shelves on the headboard could stand to be deeper.
It looks good and my 16 year old daughter loves it!
