Bless your hearts. I bought this bed for my 3/year old and she really enjoys it. That, I guess, is ultimately one of the best things I can say about the bed. Some things I noticed:
/It claims to have a 225 lb weight limit (I, at 200 lbs, climbed in and it held me just fine)
/It is a little bit wobbly when my child climbs up the ladder // barely noticeable but I would prefer to be absolutely rock/solid
/I used a 8 mattress in the bed. The instructions call for a 6 mattress. The 8 mattress works just fine except for the fact that I wish the guardrails were now an inch or two taller as they only extend 2/3 above the mattress.
/The slide takes up quite a bit of room, more so than I expected
/When assembled (even if the slide is off), it wont fit through a standard bed room door
/Good storage space under the bed which helps mitigate the amount of space it takes up
All in all, a nice childrens bed especially if you can find it on sale or during a lightning deal.
Update on 1/7/15:
Approximately 2 years later and the bed is still holding up well. No broken slats or other deformations to note and it is still relatively quiet (i.e. I dont hear my child rolling around in the bed, which is something she does often). All/in/all, Im still happy about the purchase.
