This is a good starter bed for my preschooler.  Pros: clean white finish, drawers, low profile & reasonable $$. Cons: the platform the mattress rests on is 3 separate pieces of plywood which is less sturdy than I had hoped. Arrives in a very heavy box and is a bit overwhelming when unpacking all the parts.  That said, the directions were 90 easy to follow.  The took 2-3 hrs for myself and spouse.  Definitely needs two people to assemble. Pleased so far.
