My four year old has been sleeping with us for two years and since were in quarantine I thought it would be a good time to get her sleeping in her own bed. We looked at several loft beds because her room is small and we wanted to give her more play area underneath her bed but for safety, we didnt want a bed as high as a regular bunk bed. She actually picked this bed out herself because it looks like a playhouse underneath the bed. The assembly was pretty easy just took a while because of the size. It took my husband about three hours one night to assemble the bed and about another hour the next night to assemble the dresser. The bed is very sturdy and made from solid wood, no particle board. The railing is pretty high and would be perfect for a mattress nine inches high or less as is recommended. For comfort, however, the mattress I purchased was ten inches high and I thought it would still be ok but the railing ended up a little too low then for my comfort. An easy fix was we purchased a kids bed safety rail which easily slid under the mattress and between the mattress and railing. The only gripe I would have is that the wood smells like it had just been painted but the smell went away after a few days. I would let it air out for a few days before either putting it together or letting your child sleep in it. My gripe though is minimal compared to the quality of the bed and how much my daughter loves it. We joke about how shes now a teenager because she spends a lot more time playing on her room. With the help of an ok to wake clock, she has now slept in her own bed for almost three weeks! Shes excited every night to get in her new bed. Really Happy!!
We LOVE this bed
