We purchased this bed as our 3yo daughters first big girl bed. We did a little research on beds, and decided that a platform bed with drawer storage would best meet our needs, so after checking out various styles, this is what we decided to purchase. My husband put it together on his own, and I honestly dont recall how long it took him, but he said there were minimal - if any - issues. We really like the way it looks and it seems quite sturdy. If I remember correctly, we have had the bed for just short of 4 months now, and have had no major issues with it. The only reason I dont give it 5 stars has to do with the knobs on the drawers. They are ridiculously sharp, to the point where my daughter, a friend of hers and I have all gotten cuts on our legs or arms from scraping against them inadvertently. We have attempted to position her comforter over them as an extra cushion, but due to using a guard rail on one side, we cant cover them completely. Again, though, if we really wanted to, it would be as simple as replacing them with a less pointy knob. For the price, we are truly satisfied with this bed, including the drawers (which we have actually filled quite full of various things - dress-up clothes, blankets, sticker books and art supplies), and are pleased with the purchase. Would definitely recommend it to someone looking for a reasonably priced, well put-together bed for a childs room -- or even guest room.
