We loved the look of this bed in the pictures, but I hate using it. It feels cheap, the colors are not what is pictured (very pale wood on sides and dark on corners), it's cheap plastic, and it's really noisy. Besides the poor quality, it's impractical. It's a pain to crawl over a fence to get in and out of bed and you can't sit up against the headboard because it's so low. I'm really disappointed. I would have returned it, but it was really heavy, was shipped in multiple pieces, and was already put together in our 2nd floor bedroom when we realized we didn't like it.
