My daughter is 2.5 years old. This bed is perfect for her in this transition stage from crib to bed. The height of the bed is low, so that childs safety is ensured. Another good thing is that the crib mattress fits perfectly in this bed so that we can still use the old one. Also it is easy to install (about 40 minutes for us two, but should be even faster for handy people). 

One draw back is that the wood maybe is too light-weighted ... it cracked a little when we screw on. But what should you ask for from a bed less than 50 Overall we are very happy with this bed and the delivery from thewayfair.com is also very fast.
