Good bed for the value! The two things I cared about: sturdiness and smell. This bed delivered on both! After putting it together, it seemed pretty durable; now my daughter and (and 6 year old son) both regularly jump on and off it and it is holding up. Secondly the smell. Lots of these painted products smell for months after opening. This one had a faint smell for maybe 2 days and then nothing. So pretty good in my books! If you want a toddler bed with great value, then this it.
