We selected this bed for our 2 1/2 year old daughter. It's decent for the price.  Without the mattress, the top of the "box" part of the bed is thin particle board, which does not support much weight.  Not a big deal if you put the mattress on right away, but it would not support an adult's weight without a mattress.  Also, the drawers are not the greatest quality (don't close flush to the end), and they are surprisingly shallow.  Our daughter likes it, and we know we won't be upset if she messes it up.  She loves the shelves on the headboard and is very excited about her "big girl bed."
