Initially i had my doubts but I love this bed. I was concerned that it would be too low but I got a 14 in mattress to pair with this. Now it’s perfect height and I can sit down n the edge of my bed. This was very easy to put together by myself and it took a little less than an hour. It is also very sturdy. I tested it by jumping on it since I have little kids in around, and it is very strong.
