We bought this for our twin 5 year olds as an upgrade from a twin size bunk. I was hoping buying a brand new bed would be better than the 15 year old one. I read several other online reviews saying this one was the one to buy and had a great price point too. Assembly wasnt difficult, but just was very annoying. 81+ plastic pieces to snap on for bed support rather than just adding 4 more bars? Silly. When we finally got it all put together, it seems not as stable as I was hoping. I swear we tightened as much as we could but still seems to move more than I like. I also read that it could handle an 18 thick mattress. Nope! We had to add a toddler bed guard as the railing on top so our little one doesnt fall off. I dont see how you can have a thin enough mattress to be comfortable and be below the top railing so its safe. Kinda bummed but guess its put together so have to keep it.
Not all its cracked up to be
