My three year old loves this bed! It is very sturdy and the quality is better than I was expecting at this price. It took me around two hours of baby naps to assemble this alone, even with my three year old under foot the entire time. The instructions are easy to follow. I was determined to complete the bed using only the screwdriver and Allen wrench but a drill would certainly speed the process up, and save your hands. Very pleased with this purchase!
