We absolutely love this bed! once we brought the new baby home my 2 1/2 year old son refused to sleep on his own and moved into our bed. We have one of those transitional cribs but he refused to be in the toddler bed. After many sleepless nights we decided to purchase this as his "BIG BOY" bed. From the moment the delivery man dropped it off and my son saw the box he was excited. Unfortunately this box weighs a ton so my son had to wait till daddy came home so he could bring it in. The minute he heard the door opening he was pulling daddy to help him get his car in the house. We put it together right away, and thanks to several reviews had the knowledge to *1). Put the stickers on before assembling (it's easier to work on the parts when the car is lying flat. *2). There is not enough support, all that is provided are 3 lightweight studs for the mattress to sit on, so it is best to get a plywood sheet 1/2" thick is the minimum I would go with have it cut to 39" x 75". *3). Purchase just the mattress if you are afraid your child will roll off as is likely to happen if this is a transition bed (little ones sleep like helicopters). Since getting this bed my son returned to sleeping on his own, actually can not wait to go to bed. Absolutely love this bed!!! There is a smaller toddler version but for the difference in price the twin will last longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOW TO APPLY DECALS, December 16, 2009

I read the reviews and noticed many of you are having difficulty applying the decals. Here is a little trick I learned while restoring cars. Remember the Trans Ams with the giant Firebird on the hood, well this is how we applied those decals, and they cost more than this whole bed, and is the method I used to apply theses decals to my kids bed. First, do not wait until Christmas Eve or the day before you are going to give the gift. I promise you'll be in such a hurry you screw it up. Second, do it by yourself when everyone else has gone to bed, less interuptions and I promise you do not need your spouse looking over your shoulder barking out directions.

Apply the decals with the bed disassembled. I promise it will be much easier.

Fill up a sink almost full with warm soapy water. It doesn't need to be bubbling over on to the floor, just a little so the water feels slick. Use warm water so your hands don't get cold, you'll be much happier.

OK, using a razor blade, cut out a piece of the decal that is not going to be used, ie cut off a corner that is not part og the printed material. This will be your practice piece. Use a razor blade because scissors get gummed up with the adhesive. Now take the piece to the sink and peel the decal off while holding it underwater. Once you have removed it from the backing, take it out of the water and place it anywhere on the bed (I used the nose becasue it was big and flat). Then take a dry, soft cloth, and wipe the excess water off the top of the decal. The slowly, using light pressure, work from the center out to the edges. This will squegee the water out from underneath the decal. Walla, ity's done. Peel it off, trash it and practice a few more times before you try it with the real Mcoy.

Tips:
-Do not rub to many times with the cloth or eventually you will start to rub the sticker outside coating off.
-On the large stickers, work from the center out. You may see some bubbles under the decal. The goal is to work them to the edge to get the water out. If it doesnt work, get a pin, and pop the bubbly like a zit and push the bubble edsge to the pinhole,l the water should squeeze out.
-The decals over the rear wheels are the most difficult. Start with the largest one and work out. Do the side of the car that will be away from the bedroom door so if you screw it up your friends won't laugh at you when they look into your kids room. Just make sure you get it right on the other side.

Just remember
1. Your kid won't care if it's not perfect. He'll only think your the greatest parents in the world for getting them such a cool gift.
2. You can't see both sides at the same time so it does'nt matter if they match exactly.
3. I have restored about 100 cars and never had one come out perfect. The only person who will notice the slight imperfections is you, because you did the work. If your concerned see #1

Good luck everyone and I hope this helps.

We got this for my son for his 3rd birthday. the look on his face when he saw his new bed was PRICELESS. the bed was easy to put together, but the decals were a pain to get on just right. He loves his new bed and has slept in it every night. Ours shipped for free directly from little tikes and was at our house in about a week.
