We go the bed for my 3 year old. My husband put it together. It is an all metal frame and not very sturdy, my son likes me to lay with him so he can fall asleep, I cant do that with this bed and I am only 130 LBs. Other than that, he loves the little fort under the bed but not so much the overlay over the top of the bed. We will be removing the top cover until he gets used to it. The stairs are a bit hard to climb as well, not a bad bed, but I wouldn't pay as much as I did.
