This is a great bed, well constructed, nice looking, sturdy, and affordable. I will say that with a mattress in the bed the railings only come up a few inches so this may not be the best bed for very small children. I also had trouble with the height of the bed, found it was too close to the ceiling making it feel claustrophobic. Of course this is my fault for not measuring before hand, but I was able to adjust the height of the mattress by drilling new holes into the metal posts and lowering the two poles that hold the mattress up so I'm still very happy with the bed.
