I use this bed for my 2 year old. She absolutely loves being in her own bed. This bed seems very sturdy, my daughter has been jumping on it since we first put it together and we haven't had a problem yet. It was pretty easy to assemble, my husband did all the work but it was ready to go in less than 15 minutes. My only problem was a small knick in the one side rail, other than that I am very satisfied.
