Our son is a fireman and our grandson wants to be just like his uncle. So, what better way than to transition into a firetruck bed. Our grandson LOVES it. The side ladders (rails) are perfect; the bed is low to the ground which makes it great so I don't have to lift our grandson into a crib or porta crib. It wasn't the easiest to assemble but it wasn't the most difficult, either. A great find and buy.
