I bought this bed for my tall 9 year old son after looking and MANY beds and reading TONS of reviews on each. So happy I purchased this one! I was able to put it together by myself in about 1.5-2 hours. The directions were easy to follow, just a lot of parts. The bed is very sturdy and doesnt squeak or rattle. I like that it has a shorter headboard so he can still access his window. I predict he will be quite tall, so I like the fact that the footboard is below the mattress so his feet can eventually hang off the edge and he wont feel cramped. He loves the look of it! The mattress we purchased fits perfectly, no space at the head or foot as others mentioned. The bed is also a normal height with space beneath despite having a short headboard. This bed is more than worth the price! If you are on the fence, go for it!
