I was looking for a fun, special bed for my toddler that wasn't outrageously priced and although I was originally hoping for a boat-themed bed, I thought this was cute and fun too! My toddler really likes the design of the bed, especially after we hung lights from the top.What I quickly realized, though, after we finished putting it together and put the mattress on top, is that the top railing is way lower than it looks in the photo, and is super inconvenient for adults. I have smacked my head on it already several times while making the bed, and it hurts! It also makes it challenging and uncomfortable for adults to sit on the side of the bed (while helping kids get dressed, for example). Perhaps this bed is intended to be used with a thin, trundle mattress, but I did not see that anywhere in the description. (We have a regular 10 inch mattress on the bed.)I also do not like that the drawers are not on tracks, so they slide all over the place. But I appreciate the extra storage that they provide under the bed.Knowing what I know now, I'm not sure I would have purchased this bed. But it looks really cute in my son's room and I'm just trying to be extra mindful of the bar and to not hit my head!
