My son is very happy with his new bed. We kept telling him he was getting a new Lightning McQueen bed...so he was excited to finally sleep in it and wasn't upset by the transition. It is a bit strange seeing the bed so low on the floor, but it does make sense for my son to be able to get in and out easily.
The assembly was pretty painless and you can tell the wood is of good quality. It does seem a little smaller than I had anticipated but as it is so inexpensive I don't mind that he will only be using it for a year.
