We have received this product 3 days before the expected delivery, for which I cannot be grateful enough. I bought it on a Wednesday and wanted to put it together on the weekend, but I have forgotten to buy the fast delivery. The next day I also received an email stating that they are very much sorry, but my order have been delayed. Yet, on the next day, Friday, we have received the full package - mattress and 3 boxes of bed together! My little one was so happy to see it arrive that she was jumping around excitedly shouting happily "My new bed is here! My new bed is here!" Bless her, she was very happy - so thank you for that. The bed is amazing in every way possible. The reason: we had some sleeping pattern problem with my little princess, she kept waking up in the middle of the night (no nightmares or anything, just woke), came into our bed, woke us up, she went back to sleep and our sleep pattern has been disturbed, it really started to get to us. Since we have this bed she sleeps through most nights. She still comes over sometimes, but a lot less often. The size: it is just the right size for a 3 year old - and the six year old boy next door also confirms that is the right size for him too. It is big, 2 meters long and one metre wide, with mattress in place it is about 130 cms height, the sides add an other 30 cms on the top of it. The tent is good looking and good quality, reversible (later) and the castle bit is very much loved (we spent hours playing princesses in the castle and Wonderpets in/around/with it). The slide reaches out from the side about a metre again, so in fact this is 2 meters wide with the slide on, so keep that in mind when you plan its location (I'll explain later). The assembly: So, assembly was easy - I'm used to put together IKEA furnitures and this bed is the same - easy, clear instructions, all the tools, screws, bits and bobs provided, build quality is excellent, every hole and bits are in just the right place and location, nothing is amiss. Once I had the frame up, the rest was easy, it was up and running (standing) in about 3 hours, tent and slide all ready for action. It was so easy in fact, that when I had to take it apart two days later, it took me about half an hour to disassemble and about the same time to assemble it again. One minor thing: the ribs holding the mattress are on the weak side a bit in my opinion, so I put an extra spine under the structure to support it - it may be enough for my little girl, but when she started to play "Five Little Monkeys" on top with the boy mentioned above, I have decided to err on the safe side just be sure... The slide and ladder can be placed on both ends, so if you want to turn them around, it is easy to do and you have all the holes in place, a very nice and practical design. The location: my little princess' room was a tiny one, 3m*2m. The bed just about fit in, I had to put the frame together in place, because there was no way that we could have moved it in when fully made. So I have put it together in place, which was not easy, but doable (I have done it myself, the frame was a bit tricky alone, but not too hard). When the slide got in place I have realized that the room is too small: the door opens inward (silly thing) and just possible to open it without touching the end of the slide. This of course meant that my little girl bumped into the door sliding down - I did found it worrying if she decides to slide down at night half asleep. We spent the first few nights in her room to make sure she won't fall off and won't forget to use the ladder when she wants to go to the toilet or something, and she got used to it very quickly. The room however was very small - turned to be very small, so we decided to change rooms for her (and us). Took the thing apart in half an hour, and put it together again in 30 minutes. Changed sides for the ladder and slide, put the tent on the other end (and here was the fact very handy that it is reversible, the designer was a very clever person) and now it is I think ok. Phew. Conclusion: my little princess is very-very happy, and all her friends envy her, she still talks about her new bed in the nursery even after a month. Do you need more proof? Most of her toys and plush bears, caterpillars, butterflies and dinosaurs fits under it, she has a tent, a castle, a ladder and a slide - she is having the time of her life. And we are sleeping through most of the nights - was a very good investment for both parties involved I assure you :)

This bed is really lovely once put together. I am only sharing some 'in process' photos as the others have my daughter in them. She is 4 years old and loves her new big girl bed. I assembled this myself, which worked but was challenging at points. The ends are assembled first then connected with the longer side rails. It was easiest to do this by building the bed upside down for this step. I also found the slats frustrating to screw in space. It was really hard to do with a manual screwdriver so I strongly recommend a power one. I have not yet completed the slide, tower and tunnel and so can't comment on these yet.

The bed is nice, however the lengths were not cut to size, and caused a lot of issues, having spent so much time on assembly....instructions not too clear either

It looks good when built properly. Ok! for the price and it will take you a bit of time to assemble together, but it's well worth it. Daughter loves it especially the slide and tent under bed.

Slats are a bit thin and the castle that goes abouve the slide is actually a hasard if a kid puts their hands on it will collapse and the will fall forward so I didn't put it up. Apart from that the bed is solid easy to assemble and my daughter loves it.
