First off let me just say this thing was a nightmare to put together. It took me like half the freaking day because I kept getting so frustrated I had to walk away for a few minutes. And I have put together tons of items like this being a single mom so it wasnt just me. The directions were hard to understand and multiple times I put pieces together and got a few steps ahead only to realize I used the wrong screws or something because the directions are so vague.
But after the nightmare of assembly I will say that Im quite happy with this bed. It could definitely be better but for the price I think its more than worth it. Since its the same on both ends by the head and feet it doesnt matter which way you need the drawers to be facing so thats a plus. I think it looks very sleek and nice also in my sons room. While I wish I could have gotten a different color other than white it was the only color that matched the rest of his room.
I will say that the feature I was most excited about was the 2 drawers since he needed more storage space but unfortunately they were sort of a let down. They are not very deep at all. Maybe a little over a foot and thats it. So I wont be fitting as much as I thought I would in there. But they are still nice to have.
Also be aware that this thing it very heavy and awkward to move since its really long so make sure you have help to get it where you want it both before and after its put together. Also just a quite FYI the weight limit isnt very high on this being 300pounds. My son weighs 90 and I weigh 200 so I would be nervous to sit on this with him on it also.
Overall Im happy with this especially at this price point. Though it was probably the worst thing I have ever assembled in my life it does look really good!
Assembly was a nightmare but looks great after
