I purchased this bed for my 8year old son and it has held up very well...for how rough he can be with things. It’s sturdy, made well and doing well still after 18month of jumping, rough landings and sleep overs with lots of weight on it. It was able to put it together by myself with no problem. 

Only thing I didn’t realize when buying a mattress set...it make the height way to high. It’s best to only use a mattress with this bed and NOT a box spring.
