This bed is perfect for our 5 year old son - he absolutely loves it! It went together very easy, which is good because there were no instructions included. That part aside though, the bed went together perfectly and it looks great. We even ran into some delays with the item due to shipping problems and the customer service from Wayfair was GREAT! I'd recommend this bed to anyone with a young child getting ready to enter the stage of sleep-overs and wanting to upgrade without losing too much space.
