It functions as a bed which is a plus I guess but this thing requires a lot of “making it work” type of construction. One of the pieces of wood was completely snapped in half and we were missing 3 or 4 pieces of hardware. We got it and made it work decent but I wouldn’t buy again. I would’ve sent it back if I hadn’t already gotten rid of my kids toddler bed beforehand. It’s alright and it’ll work, but it’s not worth it overall.
