this is a very low bed, as in very, very, very. At first I wanted to send this back right away, but decided it is not worth the hassle. The first night she slept on it she fell down (thanks god it is so very low) , and that made me think why there are no rails or safety gates for this bed, these are used for toddlers... no? Well, constructing the bed was okay, not too hard, not too easy either, instructions were clear cut and I (mom) was able to do it on my own. Looks like a doll bed.
