We ordered this bed in white after seeing it in person at our friends house, they had one in brown. I was a little hesitant ordering furniture online, but after a few visits to various furniture store, I realized I could pay double for the same type of bed. So we took a chance and I am so glad we did.
My 3.5 daughter absolutely loves her big girl bed and the fact that she can invite friend over (eventually) for a sleepover. Here is what I like:
- The bed was shipped promptly and arrived in just a few days (thanks ). I was concerned reading some reviews that some parts may arrive damaged, but perhaps because it was shipped from California and we live in CA, there were fewer chances for it to get damaged. All pieces arrived in good condition.
- This bed looks really nice, great value for the price. I was very hesitant of sinking $1000+ on a bed for a 3.5 YO and decided to instead get a nicer mattress.
- I like how compact it is and yet we have an option of putting my daughter and her soon to arrive sibling in one room eventually, when we have guests or for sleepovers. I would like to mention that because this bed has a trundle, it is pretty tall. I bought my daughter a step stool and also a memory foam bumper that goes under the fitted sheet so she doesnt roll off of it. Its a great set-up and she loves climbing up into her bed.
Now here is why Im only giving it 4 stars:
- My husband spent good 4-5 hours to put the bed together. One major design flaw - the wood planks that the mattress rests on (both the top level and the trundle) do not have wholes for screws on each plank nor does the base of the bed. There are 10+ planks in each and only 3 of them have wholes to put the screws in. And the rest - bring your power tools - will have to be drilled in. And you dont want to rely on only 3 planks being secure, this is the part that holds that heavy mattress.
- Trundle bed wheels are super small. We have carpet in my daughters room and its very hard to move the trundle in and out. Our friends have it on hardwood and its much easier to roll.
- Drawers are kind of flimsy and not that deep. But I like having some storage for bed sheets, so Im ok with that.
Overall - we are happy with our purchase and do recommend this bed.
Excellent value
