We bought this bed for our ski condo as my daughter is transitioning out of the pack n play we have been using with our third child on the way.

It was very easy to assemble - I did it with the 'help' of my 15 month old.  It has simple but sturdy construction and I am confident it will definitely meet the needs though both kids.

My older son's toddler bed we used for the same purpose from the time he was 2 until he was 4.5 and went into his big bed.  We had no issues using a toddler bed for the condo as it took up less space than a twin or double bed.  Unfortunately, the press board construction of the Thomas bed and metal frame didn't survive, the support piece cracked and it is basically garbage now.

From what we can tell, this bed is a much better option and we can play it up with fun bedding rather than commit to another theme bed.
