..it was better than we expected for our son's "big boy bed”, definitely a two person assembly job for the most part, well constructed frame and bigger than anticipated, which is great cause our child can grow into it.. only drawback is the pallets for the mattress support don’t seem that strong so mommies and daddies beware if you’re gonna try to snuggle with your youngin’ for story time and definitely dont let the lil ones do too much jumping on there..
