My son chose this system for his room (minus one bookcase - the room wasn't large enough!) and even painted a few of the pieces himself! he's very tall so I lengthened the bed to 92" which is the length of the extra-long mattresses. For the time being, I added 6" high-density foam to the end of his mattress. I also used plywood with edge banding instead of 1x12 boards.

So easy...
It was such an easy build! I built a piece each weekend and primed/painted during the week! One day, when he has a bigger room, he'll get the other bookcase!
