We got this bed as a big boy bed for our 1.5 year old toddler and since his room is so small, we are able to get away without needing an extra dresser due to the extra storage space.  This product is great quality and after doing a lot of research, seems to be the best price for the product.  Looking forward to using the trundle bed for story time and we plan to leave it open as a second safety feature in addition to bed rails in case he rolls out of bed as he is a very active sleeper.
