Bought this bed for my son’s first big boy bed after his crib. He loves books so I thought it would be the perfect option and it is lower to the ground so it’s easier for him to climb in and out of. I was missing a few wing nuts which I had to run to the store for. It took my husband and I probably 2 hours to piece together but it is a fairly simple assembly. I was a little disappointed that the bed is classified as a platform bed but the the mattress goes directly on the floor. I would recommend a mattress protector andor a shorter bed spring. The mattress we have pictured is 10.5” and works perfectly for the space. All in all very satisfied and my son loves it! He was so happy to climb into bed!
