Okay To Sleep In. Impossible To Assemble!
It's hard for me to review this bed. On one hand, my daughter loves it. On the other hand, it stinks! I was up until 3AM trying to get this bed set up for Christmas morning. I couldn't get it to assemble correctly. No matter what I did... and I am really good at putting furniture together. This one was a nightmare. The bed itself is cool. Not worth the money it cost, but it is nice and big enough for my daughter who is almost 6. It's pink, so that's a plus for her. And it's Dora, so you know... she likes it. But I don't think this product is the safest thing in the world. My kid is pretty good and she won't jump on the bed or anything, so I don't know how this would hold up if she did jump on it. I wouldn't trust it to hold up.
This bed is all set up now in our home so it's not an issue anymore, but I wish I never purchased this bed. It is way too expensive and it had me pulling my hair out trying to get it assembled. Just because it's Dora doesn't mean it's awesome. I wish Swiper would some swipe this bed from our home.

Great for the money
In all fairness, I bought the bed in a box, not just the bed alone, but I think it is definitely worth the money.
It isn't sturdy like a more expensive toddler bed, say a wooden bed. But it is plenty sturdy. I weigh 190 and sat on it without thinking to read to my little gal, and the bed held me up fine, no wobbles or anything.
The head and footboards are heavy plastic. I know a lot of people have complained about it, but I still think it is worth the money. Because it looks more like a toy, my 20 month old LOVES it. And it gets her to sleep through the nite, alone, and that makes us VERY happy.
She was very unhappy in her expensive crib, but sleeps like a dream in this bed. Waking to see Dora every morn gets her off to a good start.
Yes, as you have read, it is difficult to put together. My hubby said that once you get it together, you will never be able to get it apart, lol. That's a good thing. It takes some talent to put it together, but again, it is worth the money.
Listen, bottom line is, it is inexpensive, adorable, sturdy, looks like a toy, and makes my gal want to sleep in it. How can I ask for more?
If your lil one likes Dora, I highly suggest buying this.

Very Pleased
Bought this for my 2 year old grandaughter. She's tiny and was afraid of the bigger bed, so this was perfect for her. She loves the bed and sleeps very well in it.
