My son loved this bed frame and its a good style for a teenager. My full size mattress <no box spring needed> fits with a little room all around for my son to make his bed. I put the bed together myself with a little help with holding the headboard and footboard when attaching together. When the directions say to not fasten all the screws until its all together it will save you a lot of time to follow that step. I had to loosen screws to make sure all could fit in the holes and then fasten after the build was complete. You just need to make sure you fasten all the knots and screws before you put the mattress on.
Follow the instructions!!!
