First let me share my little warning. The included instruction sheet is inconsistent. In some drawings the holes for the side rails are represented. In other drawings they are not. This could cause you to think you should be working on the other side of the board. So just keep that in mind or the instruction sheet could get you turned around and peeve you off with having to disassemble and reassemble stuff. I used to deliver and build furniture for a furniture store years ago so I know my way around assembling furniture. I have to say that given the instruction sheet inconsistencies and the way the mattress support boards are installed, this isnt the most intuitive piece to build and can get frustrating.
Otherwise, we really like it.
When we lay my daughter down, she likes to snuggle a little bit to go to sleep. This bed is sturdy enough for me to lie next to her in it (Im 185 lbs. man). Granted, theres no leg room for an adult so youre in the fetal position, but itll hold more weight then I expected.
The pink color is a nice shade and the paint is even and consistent throughout. The bed is lightweight too (if you need to move it).
The only tools you need to assemble this is the included Allen wrench and a blade to open the package, of course.
Were all sleeping better since we got our toddler out of our bed and into her own. No more kicks in the ribs in the middle of the night. LOL!
I do recommend this bed, just be patient assembling it and expect a bit of monkey business to get the mattress support boards installed. Once theyre in and youve screwed the sides of the bed all the way in, theyll stay in place even if you move the bed around.
Sturdy and very nice looking
