Pro:
Easy assembly, the hardware was surprisingly sturdy and well thought out. Typically this kind of furniture has a lot of plastic parts for hardware. No plastic here.
Easy for an adult to get in and out of if you need to snuggle with your little one.
Nice little space underneath for a fort or whatever your little one can think of. We are going to put lights in but have not done it yet.
Con:
Some cosmetic issues with random parts. Only one part is noticeable and you have to look for it (know its there) otherwise the rest were hidden or installed out of sight. I did not bother contacting the company for replacement. Once I started assembling I did not want to wait for parts so I decided to live with it.
The drawer at the bottom roles on the floor. Not a great thing in carpet. Its also not attached to anything so it will likely roll away when my little one notices they can remove it.
The drawer is open on the inside of the underside of the bed. i.e. the kiddos can simply look in there and mess with whatever is in there from under the bed.
The UPS driver must have been on drugs or something. He tossed it in the driveway carelessly and from the external look of it I thought for sure that it must have been damaged. It was not. This does not affect my review of the product. Just an observation.
This is heavy. When it comes you will need help getting it in the house. I recommend a dolly if you have one. Also a nice set of Allen wrenches is helpful as is a battery powered drill (Phillips bit); your install will go better with them. I have to note the Allen wrenches that came with the product. They were well thought out bending on each end similar to the letter z; you can turn them like a wrench.
