The giggle of excitement was 5 stars in and of itself!!  A true winner!  This was for a teenage girl and for her sleepover guests.  She read the directions and it was nice having her figure out and help put it together.  The new mattresses were an extra $400.  But all-in-all it's a nice bed.  The only caveat may be if she grows substantially, which I don't think she will.  For a tall girl I would look for an twin XL.      This bed is highly recommended.
