My 4 year old loves this bed. Be sure to get a bunkie board instead of a box spring. Especially if your little one is like mine and is a wild sleeper. A box spring will make the bed too high, but additional support is required as the spaces between the bottom supports for this bed are so far apart. It would also have been helpful if Wayfair had linked to possible accessories for the bed canopy. This bed loses a bit of its charm without them, and the kind needed for this bed are hard to find.
