My 7 year old loves this bed because it's fuzzy, but you definitely get what you pay for.  The headboard and side supports are made of paperboard beneath the fabric and would definitely break if anyone was rowdy on or near it. The slats that hold the mattress don't make any sense - they don't sit recessed down into the side supports, they sit at the top of them. The result is that the bed is super high and there's nothing keeping the mattress from sliding back and forth or even right off of the sides onto the floor.  The mattress is just perched ontop of the platform.  You also can't tuck in blankets or sheets because of this.  I'd return it except for the fact that there's no chance I'm wasting time disassembling it and trying to repackage it.  Just don't be expecting a whole lot.  Looks cute, but it'll blow over in a gentle breeze.
