I got this bed as the new “big boy” bed for my son (he’s 2). We transitioned to this straight from his crib. 

He loves it. And I love it because it’s so close to the ground. If he happens to fall out while sleeping, he won’t hurt himself AT ALL! 

The color is as pictured and it’s soft and plush. I love the extra framing and plushness around the bed. If you have a toddler who rolls while sleep, they’ll have some extra space on either side to do so.
