Just needed something to transition from a crib to a bed without taking up too much room in our small apartment.  I will have to say that the bed was a bit difficult to put together when it cam to the step that had to do with the support slates (I think it was step 3 and 4) other than that, it looks great and is sturdy. 

Pros: just a tad bit difficult to assemble
Cons: Looks great, great value, very sturdy.
