Bought this as my 3.5 year old son's first 'big' bed. He adores it. The rails make it feel safe but not too enclosed and these could be removed as he grows older without looking odd, so it will last for years and years. The cupboards are a great size, although not the full width of the bed, they are large and more than adequate for storage of toys. We cannot fault this bed. The service from Bedroom Direct was excellent, delivery was superb, no bits missing or damaged, a 5 star service in our eyes. The bed is not the cheapest out there but it looks and feels much more expensive than it was. Lovely product. Would definately recommend this bed to others.
