I recently bought this bed for my daughter. I was able to assemble it by myself in under an hour. The instructions were easy to follow, and the wood is very sturdy. My daughter loves the bed; it's pretty and just the right size for a twin bed. I often lie down with her to help her fall asleep, and there's enough room for both of us. I also bought some lights to string around the top of the bed to make her room look more girly.I recommend this bed for toddlers and I am very happy with my purchase!
