Great incentive to get your little man in his OWN bed!!

I bought this bed for my son when he was about 18 months old because he just would not sleep in his crib. It did take a little elbow grease to put together but not too bad. He slept in it perfectly from the first night and never fell out. I used the mattress support from his crib instead of a board; there were no boards at my TRU and the salesman suggested I use the mattress support. I don't know why that is an issue. My mattress fit perfectly and there were no gaps. This is a great toddler bed, however my son is now three and he is constantly hitting the sides at night. i feel he has no room to move in it. I am disappointed because I was expecting to get lots more use out of it! From the other reviews I read, this does not seem to be a common problem. Perhaps my son is just a restless sleeper!!

a very well made product

This mom had no problem puting this bed together-you had to man handle it a little, but once it is together it stays and does not fall apart. We bought this when Benson started to walk(13 months) and at first inserted a 1"x10" board that we padded with a towel between the mattress and the outside edge of the bed so he couldn't fall out. In the year since he's had it he's rolled down the hood a few times in his sleep but landed gently on the floor and it didn't even wake up. He's hasn't refused to sleep in his own bed since getting it. It's cute,tough, scrubbable, sanitary (unlike wood), and my kid loves it. An A+ product

Look good but it is a poor made product

The bed look great. However it is a pain try to put together. The unit I got have no hole pre-drilled. We ended up drilling a few hole to get the screw in. Some part don't fit right and you need to drill a few more hole to make it fit. Overall it is not that good.
