I bought this platform bed for my adult daughter. She wanted something low to the ground so her littles wont get hurt if they tumble off. This is perfect! The height is perfect for an infant co-sleeper to cozy up to the bedside and low enough that a toddler can easily slip to the floor without risk of fall or injury. Bed was packaged nicely and was without shipping damage. Assembly was super easy and I did it by myself. Sure, another pair of hands makes it nice but it is easy enough for one person to manage. My one most important piece of advice is to assemble the bed in the space that it will occupy. I used the shipping carton to cover the slat area after assembly because the slats are a bit rough and could transfer splinters to the mattress. Other than the slats being a tad splinter-y this bed is wonderful. Zero noise when shifting weight or getting up or down. Great purchase and highly recommend!
