I bought this bed for my 3-year-old son, as his first big boy bed. I was able to put it together myself without difficulty. It's a good sturdy construction (for what it's made of. This is not solid wood we're talking about here), and the finish looks great. I only have two qualms about this bed, and they're minor. First, the bed is, all around, just a smidgen bigger than a standard twin mattress, so you have to think about that when deciding what linens to choose. Second, the drawers are not on rollers. It's just a plastic slider piece mounted into a slot in the wood, so it has the tendency to stick a little, particularly in humid weather. However, I have found that a little olive oil does help this problem somewhat. I would still recommend this bed for anyone looking for a good, sturdy, inexpensive child's bed.
Overall a good bed
