Bought this loft bed for my soon to be 3 year old. Overall we are happy with it but it took over 4 hours to build and there are a few pieces that didn’t seem to line up just right. You will definitely need a rubber mallet to build it and a lot of patience! The steps are kind of steep for my daughter to get up and down but she is getting the hang of it. Also be sure to review the dimensions carefully because this thing is pretty massive. It pretty much stretches from one side of her room to the other. Overall she seems to like it and it seems to be a sturdy piece of furniture.
