Our 2 year olds room is VERY small.  We needed a captain's bed but didn't want to spend a lot since we will most likely buy a "big girl bed" in the next 5 years.  The price and look are perfect for her "girly" room and the drawers under the bed are a perfect solution to a small space.  She loves it!!!  I was able to assemble the whole thing by myself with 2 toddlers running around!
