Bought this bed for my 9-year old he wanted a big boy room. The only complaint is the wood slats that came with the bed are not helpful and do not fit the size well. They constantly fall off and our son only weighs 55 pounds. We ended up going to the hardware store and cutting our own and now he and us love the bed. No problems and he and his friends can sit on it to play video games without being scared they will fall.  They never fell but the fear was there because the loud noise it made when the slats would fall.  Otherwise the bed is beautiful we have the espresso color and it’s solid and looks like it costed much more than it did. You can make it look great for a boy or girl room depending on whatever bedding you purchase.
