THIS BED IS THE BEST! I spent months searching for the perfect transitional bed for my 4 year old to finally graduate to a big boy bed. I wanted something that would not only meet our needs right now (low loft to minimize getting out of bed at night) but also when he gets older and becomes too cool for the loft bed (transition from loft to bed frame right on the floor). We are so happy with our purchase and he loves his new bed!
