This bed is very cute, decent quality and easy to put together. The wood does have a chemical smell as others had mentioned and we've had the bed for two weeks now and the smell still hasn't gone away which is a bit disappointing. Also, the two horizontal support bars are across the long side of the bed which is the front for us and it makes it cumbersome when an adult (or taller child) wants to get on the bed because they have to duck under this bar. Not something we thought about when purchasing. I do see other beds with the support bars going across the shorter side but I am guessing that would also provide less support. This bed is very sturdy, I do not feel that it will sway even with only 2 support bars so it's a give and take. My toddler does enjoy being able to crawl on and off her bed on her own and we enjoy not being worried that she will fall off a higher bed in the middle of the night. Overall would recommend!
