Read the reviews only after purchasing this bed, and didn't know what to expect. When it finally came, my anxious heart was put at ease; the overall construction was great, and the frame was nice and clean with no damage at all. The 50 lb weight limit might mean that we can't sit in bed with our daughter to read to her, but it is low enough that we can still sit beside her on the floor. Daughter loves it, especially now that she has the freedom to get up when she wants! I would totally recommend this bed to anyone.
