This bed is hands down, the perfect transition bed for the wild child in your life! We were worried about moving Daphne from her toddler bed in mom and dad's room to a big girl bed in her own room, but with the beautiful colors and  the padded head/foot boards, our three year old practically fell in love with bed time! It was super easy to set up, and she even helped us put the bed together (it took maybe 30 minutes) ! I love that you dont need a box spring for it either! All thumbs up over here! Thank you!
