First of all,  I received the toddler bed crazy quick. Secondly, it was fairly simple to put together, although, it would have been easier if I had a second set of hands when it came to inserting the slats, while holding the two side rails together all while trying to put in the end screws. Lastly, the espresso finish is very pretty and is suitable for either a boy or girl. 

Pros: great value, durable
Cons: Need two sets of hands
