This item was nothing as expected, it is very flimsy, the actual bed is ok although when i tried to put my daughters junior bed mattress on it i found that the bed was a lot smaller than expected! in the end we had to cut the mattress down to a smaller size to actually fit it! I suppose i did have high expectations for this bed after all i did pay £200 for it! The canopy on the top looks like it could easily be ripped off by a young child, mine was also bent (it had been in the box too long and now looks nothing like it supposed to) and looks quite lob-sided. I wanted my daughter to have the perfect bed and i feel like i have been completely ripped off, its definitely not worth the money at all but as my daughter is easy to please i will be keeping the bed for her, but next time i would much rather see the bed before i make a spontaneous purchase like this again!
