This bed is perfect for our two year old son and we know it will grow with him. As many parents do, it was time to transition our son to a big boy bed, but we didn't want to purchase a toddler bed to then have an additional expense of a twin bed. This bed is great, it is low to the ground that makes us feel safe with our son but cool enough for a child and even a teen. We are happy that it's a great investment. The assembly is pretty simple but it took me a long time because my toddler wanted to help, lol. It's strong and both my husband felt comfortable to lay down with him for Storytime. Great buy!
