This bed will destroy your life. RUN., July 5, 2009

This review is from: Disney Fairies Toddler Bed with Canopy (Toy)
I purchased THREE of these beds for my three little girls. I put all three together myself (go girl power!) and just about required therapy afterward. First of all, the quality is utter crap. The plastic pieces are so lightweight, you can squish them in your hand. Yeah! Second, there are approximately ten bazillion screws you have to screw in. But good luck with that, because the holes only line up about half the time - and once in awhile, there isn't any hole AT ALL! If you go so far as to get the bed together, just stop there. There isn't any reason to go further. But if you're a glutton for punishment like me, go ahead and assemble the canopy. Be sure and take pictures of it when it's all put together, because it's darling! And it will only look cute for about twelve hours before your child breaks the canopy. It's made out of metal tubing, held together with the most flimsy, brittle, plastic elbows. Imagine constructing a canopy out of paper towel tubes and masking tape. That's a fair comparison of the durability of the canopy. RIDICULOUS. Embarrassing. Unbelievable that people ARE SELLING this stuff. We've had these beds nearly six months and have made COUNTLESS repairs to the canopies with duct tape. (Yeah! That looks nice and princessy, NOT.) I just finished taking all the canopies down and throwing them in the trash, because all three were broken beyond repair. Buyer beware!!

My daughter loved this bed! The canopy is what makes this bed to special. It is adorable, BUT, as others have stated... the quality is horrible! The canopy fell apart after a couple of weeks. We were so disapointed. I would not purchase this bed.

This review is from: Disney Fairies Toddler Bed with Canopy (Toy)
The big writing on the box says, "Easy Assembly." Three hours, one screw driver injury which wouldn't stop bleeding all over my carpet later, the bed was assembled w/ my daughter asleep... in MY bed. She loves the bed for nap times, and we're still working on night times. The canopy is fragile and she decided to grab it while climbing up onto the bed, so it snapped on day three at one of the "T" pole attachment sites, a plastic insert to hold the skinny poles of the canopy together. The website is supposed to sell replacement parts but you can only look them up w/ the model and lot numbers which come on the box, and which are not written on the instruction manual anywhere. Still can't find it on the internet, and box was thrown out on day two. So now we have a brand new toddler bed with a floppy canopy and the product has been discontinued. I'm still not having any success finding a way to replace the plastic parts of the canopy. If I do find them, I will buy multiples to last me at least a year or two. This bed was difficult to assemble, for a 12-year army veteran/ former Apache / Longbow helicopter pilot, and fairly self-sufficient handy woman around the house. Even harder if your two kids are climbing all over you (husband is deployed and not here to help). Holes did not line up and took much strong-arming to get the screws to properly attach pieces. The bed itself is "cute," and sturdy enough. Also, my daughter thinks it's a novelty item, but likes it. My 10 month old son thinks it's really fun to practice climbing up and down on. So it has its place. Mattress does not come with bed, but that's no problem if you already have a crib mattress. Pretty and sturdy bed, fragile canopy, replacement parts are thus far not easy to find. I'd buy it again, but only if my husband were here to put it together. He's WAY more patient than me! :D
