This toddler bed was exactly what I was looking for when transitioning my child from a crib. It is only about 6 or 7 inches above the ground so I don't worry about her getting in and out of it by herself. We bought the black crib and we messed up on the assembly so when we took the screws out, the black paint peeled off where the screws were at and left a white ring after we put the new screw in. But if you read the directions right, you should be fine!
