Great bed for my 6 year old daughter; this was her first "big girl bed".  It's too small for a mattress and box spring and could benefit from the bunk bed board, however we opted not to get one and it works just fine.  However, the top sheet hangs out in between the slats under the mattress and annoys me only from an aesthetic point.  My daughter loves it.  Easy to put together, my father-in-law put it together while we were moving in to our new house.
