The bed is well constructed and will support the weight of a 200-50 pound person. The assembly instructional guide was easy to follow. I noticed that on several steps, having an additional person to assist would have made it easier.
A 6 inch mattress would be optimal for the trundle bed.
You will need to use a 6 inch 1/8 drill bit to drill pilot holes in artificial wood strips to attach wooden bed slates for both top and trundle bed frames. Without pilot holes you risk stripping the heads of screws while trying to screw them into the artificial wood strips.
It is helpful to have 2 persons push the trundle under the bed so as not to hit or rub it on the head or foot board of the bed.
We have been happy with the purchase of this bed.
A Great Bed For A Childs Bedroom!
