Just got this and put it together last night and it looks like it will be solid enough for my toddler to use for years to come. It’s really very cute (we purchased the pink bed) and looks better than I expected. It has a nice shimmer without being over the top shiny and a nice feel to the cover material. My husband, who has some weird aversion to things shiny or glittery, doesn’t mind the look of this bed at all.
