My almost two year old recently started the whole 'attempting to escape from the crib' bit so I thought it'd be a good time to switch her over to a big girl's bed. Moving her straight into a twin or full sized bed would be ideal financially in the long run; however, space wise, a toddler or converted crib made more sense for her room.I initially looked into purchasing the toddler conversion rail for her crib, but it was $60+ and a majority of the reviews were unfavorable. I came across this Orbelle toddler bed in my research and was pretty excited since the price is comparable to buying just the one rail. I'm so glad I decided on the toddler bed instead of converting my little one's crib with a toddler rail!Directions for assembly were straightforward. All you need is a screw driver. An Allan wrench is included. I was antsy to put it together so I did so on my own before my boyfriend came home from work.My furniture assembling skills are slim to none, but I successfully put together the bed by myself! You construct the side rails first, then install the bed slats, and finish by screwing in the headboard and footboard. The most difficult part was installing the slats because one would pop out of its notch as I was inserting another one into its respective hole. I eventually managed to install all the slots by starting with the middle one and working my way out on either side. Having two people assemble it would definitely make the whole thing a breeze.The bed frame itself is very lightweight. I'm quite petite and I had no problem moving it around. It also fit through our doorways easily when fully constructed, unlike our crib. My boyfriend (~180 lbs) laid in the bed with our daughter to read bedtime stories despite my insistence that he'd break it. Surprisingly the bed didn't collapse. It's pretty sturdy for the price.

My toddler bed came yesterday. Love it, very sturdy. I bought it for my dog and its just great! I purchased the Graco Premium Foam Crib and Toddler Bed Mattress to go with it. My dog is in heaven its so comfy.I read a lot of complaints on how hard it was to put together. I did not find that at all. I first made sure all my parts were there (they were). Next I sat down and read the instructions all the way through. Note: Some people said holes were missing. If they were referring to the holes where the self drilling screws go - there are not any holes. They are SELF drilling (phillips-head). When you put on the metal plate on each side try to line up the big holes (this is where your allen head bolts will go. Then screw in the self drilling screws 2 top and 2 bottom. When you put the allen bolts in the metal plate on each side you may have to give them a good tap but they will go in. I found the 3 slats closest to the front and back did not stay in until I began securing the head and footboard so don't sweat those in the beginning. Lastly, I kept trying to figure out where the barrel nut went on the top of the head board. Its goes in just UNDER the railing. I hope this helps anyone purchasing. I put it together in under and hour. One person can do it but two people would make it so much easier. Helps to have someone hold on to the pieces in the beginning.

This is really difficult to put together on your own, but if you got the determination and time you can. I did! It took me like 3 hours. The hardest part is keeping the bottom support wood in the slots WHILE you attach the middle legs. I had to turn it sideways and even then it was very difficult.I gave this one less star because it was IMPOSSIBLE to put it together with the L shaped tool provided. I was so lucky to have the right size screw driver bit. If I didn't have that I wouldn't be able to tighten all the screws properly. There wasn't enough leverage with the tool provided.The end product is amazing and I'm totally happy with it!!! For the price it's amazing even with the struggle. I got a standard crib mattress and it fit perfectly. I was worried that the bed couldn't support enough weight so I could sit at the end of the bed and read a bedtime story.I'm about 200 lbs. and I'm shocked to say that it supports me even though it shouldn't. I don't know if it's because the mattress is so firm but I'm happy that I'm still able to do that.This is our son's first very own bed and he went crazy when I set it up. He was so excited about it and he's very comfortable in it. We had a lot of trouble getting him to sleep in his own room and this helped with that.It looks very sleek and modern. I got the dark oak color and I'm very happy with it. No squeaking or creaking like the old bed. Every once in a while you're supposed to tighten the screws, other than that I can see this lasting a very long time. Even with all the jumping of a 2 year old boy!
