Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For some reason, I don't show up as a verified purchase, though my many pics show I obviously did get one! I bought this on April 6 from Amazon, in fact. I have A LOT of pics, which will really help you decide whether to buy... Here are my main points if you don't want the details (details are down below): 1. Service from company is AWESOME. There were a few screws that were missing, so they FedEx'ed them all the way from Canada. Now that's service! 2. The bed is sturdy, and given it's for a 5 year old that is 49 lbs, I'm sure it'll last at least until he's 10. 3. It's not an expensive bed with well rounded corners and rich wood, but at well under $200, it's a solid value. 4. I don't like the sharp corners of the drawers, the panel part that protrudes from the bed, but I put 1/8" rubber bumpers on, so they won't hurt my kids if they bump into those panels. Box: This item is very well insulated and had NO damage of any kind to any of the contents. Tons of foam and 2 layers of cardboard. Build: The instructions are really good. You'll still need over an hour, but not 2 hours. Instructions are awesome and the items are labeled, so you know which piece is which, not just pics that you have to decipher Quality of materials: This set is heavy, because the materials are very good for a particle board composition. This is not real wood so if you want a real wood set, this is not your product. But you'll also pay double. The holes are perfectly aligned; the fit is really good, there were no dents or scratches; these guys are great manufacturers. Drawer functionality: Very good, perfect alignment, I mean perfect. Plenty strong to hold a few pounds of clothes in each drawer. Overall, my kid is very happy. It's solid and even if he jumps up and down, this thing ain't gonna break. The boards that lay on top of the frame is 1/2 inch thick, which is not that thick, but the material is so heavy (dense), that I am comfortable standing on it with my 178 lbs. Tips: Use the tool that is included in the box, which is used to fit right into the gliders, and you hit that part and not the glider itself, so your hammer doesn't dent or break the glider. Tip #2: Included is a small paint bottle, which you can use if you scratch the bed. That is a really nice touch. I recommend, just watch out for those sharp corners (see pics!) and hopefully you'll have as good an experience as I did. Where you see a corner that looks like it was slightly, just slightly damaged or scratched, I did that to make the corner less sharp. The product from the company had no flaws. In care you're wondering, I received nothing in exchange for this review, not even a $1 off coupon. This is a real and honest review. Thanks for reading and see the pics!!
