We got this as the bed for our toddlers "big boy" room and love the look of it. It was pretty simple to assemble, which is always a plus. This is just a random tip and probably not appliquable to many, but I will say that I think we personally made a mistake in ordering a 4in box spring =/! We ordered the smaller one so the bed would be lower to the floor when we do decide to remove the toddler rails, but the gap between the bottom of the bed frame and the bottom rung of the headboard is pretty substantial. Looks like we may be exchanging the box spring.
