Ok so this is a really cool bed but let's have some straight talk about what you need to know and should expect when you buy this and think you're gonna be the world's coolest parents for buying this for your kid like we thought we were:
Pros:
Cool design
Sturdy
Not too High
Pretty modern looking
Firehouse cover stays on
Kids will think you are the coolest mom/dad ever
Lots of room to play underneath
Affordable
Cons
CORNERS...hello...tons of ready to hurt you - sharp corners! We bought these corner rubbers from but they keep falling off...so we're still experimenting with really strong 3M sticky tape and different corner protectors. That's an added expense.
No space for a box spring because the bed would be too high so remember that this isn't going to be the MOST comfortable bed ever
The slide is LOOOONG so if you're trying to fit 2 kids into a room...this is going to be a problem. We rearranged the room 15 times and we still haven't found a way to fit this into a normal size room without the slide sticking out AND we needed to make sure there was still room for a dresser...because hey...I guess we have to store their clothes somewhere too!
wood...the slide is made of wood and again...sharp edges ready for you to slam your foot into in the middle of the night. Remember that...or wear steel-toed boots to sleep in case you need to run into your kids room at night.
Pros and Cons - A REAL Review
