I purchased this bed for my 3 year old son and he loves it but it's not sturdy at all. I can vouch for the other 1-3 star rated comments. My son was getting ready for bedtime and jumped on the bed and broke a slat. The slats and plastic inserts for the slats break very easily as you can see in my pictures. As you can see in one of my pictures, one of the slats is cracked as well so it's a matter of time before it breaks completely. This bed looks nice but I was very disappointed that it's not sturdy enough for a 3 year old.
