I bought this bed for my almost 2 year old, thinking she will grow into it. I love the color!! I didnt realize just how big and bulky this bed is. The thing I dont like about it is how high it is. I'm 5' 3 and need a stool to get up on the bed. The bed is somewhat rickety. I believe this is caused by the mattress slats not really all being the same length. Like other reviews said, the build was tedious. The instructions were confusing and some things were not properly labeled like the tracks for the drawers. The set up took about 5 hours total, so dont start this project at 5pm if you have a little one with an 8 o'clock bed time. A good 1/4 of our boards came warped. Which added some extra barriers. All in all this is a decent bed, but I'm not as in love with it after seeing how high it is.
The good. The bad and the ugly
