The Austin Toddler Bed was a perfect transition from the crib to a big boy bed. We shopped for twin size initially but they were too far off the ground and we were concerned he'd fall out. The Austin bed has guard rails and is only aprox. 12 inches from the floor, it has a nice drawer that we use to hold extra sheets and blankets. Its a very narrow drawer so it won't hold much. The only issue we had is that it took us quite awhile to assemble it....however it was well worth the price.

My husband didn't have trouble putting this together, and it looks great. The drawer on the bottom is excellent extra storage space. The bed seems very sturdy, and I expect that we will be able to use this for all of out children-to-be! The price can't be beat...I spent hours online looking, and anything that was cheaper than this was lacking in quality.

I've had this bed now for about 9 mos. It is a beautiful looking bed and the price is great. However, the drawer is already not functional, it was hard for my husband to put together and the support slats for the matress are flimsy. Two have already broken. I have a younger daughter that I was planning on handing this down to but will not be able to. If you only have one child that will be using the bed for a short time it is a good deal. Otherwise, I would spend a little more money for a higher quality bed.

We just moved our 18 month old into this bed, and we have had no problems. It is low to the ground so I don't have to worry about him falling out. It did have some scratches so make sure to look it over, and you may want two people to put it together.

This bed is so adorable - our three year old LOVES it! : ) We had purchased it early for her birthday and therefore didn't set it up until well after the posted return date (our fault). We had a couple of scratches in a piece and emailed the company & even though it was past the date, they quickly sent us a replacement piece without any problem!

So excellent customer service and a very solid bed with a handy storage drawer for linens & such! : )

My wife thinks the bed is adorable and asked that I include that in my review. The bed seems very sturdy at first sight and even after my daughter jumped on it a bit it held up. I leaned on it once by accident when trying to pick y daughter up. I heard a small splintering sound and believe it was the support beams, Great bed just as an adult try very carefully not to put any of your weight on it

I bought this bed for my 2 year old. Let me summarize the review as follows:

Pros:

1 - Great price
2 - Very sturdy
3 - Beautiful cherry finish
4 - Solid birch wood construction
5 - Low enough to the floor so fall risk is minimal.

Cons:

1 - Bed rails are clearly NOT as high as shown in the pictures. With a standard 5 inch thick toddler bed Sealy mattress, there is barely 1/2 to maybe 1 inch of safety rails present above the mattress to prevent falls
2 - Drawer is flimsy and cannot hold enough
3 - Instructions are for most part OK. BEWARE TO ASSEMBLE THE SIDE RAILS WITH THE HOLES FOR THE SAFETY RAILINGS FACING UP
4 - In reality, bed is smaller than looks in the picture.

My son, never slept in a crib (he went from bassinet to our bed to this bed) We feared he would never sleep in his own room. But we put him in this bed and he right away took to it. It's adorable. And he feels "big". We started him in it at 14 months old, 4 months later, he's just as happy and so are we.

The bed is very solid, and my son loves it (21 months). It was fairly easy to put together, and all of the pieces were there (the only difficulty was getting the slats all between the 2 side boards without help). The only main complaiint is that the drawer can't be switched to a different side to allow for the bed to be set up in a different side of the room. In theory I could change it, but I believe I would have to take the bed fully apart.

This bed looked nice in my son's room. He could get in and out easily. The rails help him sleep on the bed without falling out, it's one of reasons why I bought this bed. It fits perfectly with our crib mattress so I didn't have to buy a different one. I only gave it 4 stars because it was not easy for me to put them together, I had to ask a friend to do that for me.
