For the price I think this is a great bed for a little boy. I’m not planning on keeping this more than a year or two so I feel it is worth the price I paid for it. My 2 year old son loves it so it was a great way to transition him to a big boy bed. It is plastic and the stickers have already started coming off but it does the trick so I’m fine with it. It’s basically a frame around the bed - there’s nothing for the mattress to sit on (mattress or box spring if you choose to use one goes directly on the floor).
