The bed itself is cute enough, but I’m giving this three stars because it didn’t come with everything we needed. The directions (at the end, *after* we had finished building the bed) said we would have to buy an additional kit that contains slats to support the top and bottom mattresses. Why wouldn’t these things be included from the beginning? Why weren’t we told we had to purchase this when we first ordered? It might have impacted whether or not we bought this particular bed in the first place.
