Purchased this same bed elsewhere. I can tell you from extensive searches, this is one of the few solid wood bookcase beds in this price range. I would probably opt for the version that includes a trundle if I did it again (or check out some of IKEAs offerings in this category). The drawer depth only reaches to 1/3 width of mattress (right where the door starts). The door at foot of bed opens into the dead space. This makes a great hiding place for kids, but its effectively unusable space for adults (unless you keep both side of the bed away from walls). Despite how the photos look, the actual finish is a satin smooth glossy honey finish. It doesnt look bad, just not as good as imagined based on photos. I wouldnt recommend this bed for adults due to sturdiness and overall finish, but a fine choice for kids (how I used it). Having seen frequent questions about using this for waterbed, I would definitely NOT recommend it for that purpose. Overall you got what you paid for.
