I saw this online and fell in love with it! When it finally arrived, I was more excited then my 2 year old! He loves it. My husband had no issues with assembly, except our son kept trying to help. I climb in with him to read him his stories and he falls asleep without a problem. I love the fact that without a box spring it sits nice and low inside the frame to keep him from falling out. And trust me my son can move in his sleep! He practically does 180s! We have had it for a week and he is nice and safe in it. The storage is FANTASTIC! I put his new blankets and box of diapers under there, and he can still crawl around happily and play! The rough surface is not so bad. My son has never said ouch, and when I get out of the bed, it bothers me just a bit, but I'm getting used to it. We call it the CASTLE BED-it is much bigger than you expect it to be, but worth it! I can see him sleeping in this for a long time!

We bought this bed for our son, one of triplets, when we were splitting the kids into seperate rooms and giving them big kid beds over Christmas of 2010. We had to buy one bed, and we chose to buy this one and give it to our son because he's a climber (he was climbing before walking) and we knew he'd love the hideout underneath. I was in love with it and the concept immediately, and where I'm a die-hard Step2 fan, I figured it would be a bed he could use until he was 8-10, so the price wasn't that big a deal. He does have the smallest bedroom though, and the bed takes up a substantial amount of space.
Set up was easy, what you'd expect with Step2 products; mostly popping plastic pieces together and a few screws. You will need to buy a bunky board to put the mattress on, which they don't mention, and the inside is a little rough. I am short, 5'4" and fat, and changing the sheets is nearly impossible for me. (He vomited in the bed once, and it was a HUGE pain to clean up; had to take the whole mattress out, clean IT, clean the bunky board, the bed itself, the ladder rungs, one of the doors, the inside underneath the storage area, and the carpet where it dripped through.) I am too heavy to climb into bed with him, the ladder rungs smoosh in (cause I'm fat), and because I'm short I can't even lean over the side to give him a kiss.
Now that we've had it for several months, it's starting to show a fair amount of wear... the doors no longer close all the way, and it's becoming more unstable the more we move it. I wish we'd just bought him a regular bed, or bunk beds, or one of those beds with the dresser and stuff attached; any of them would have been a much wiser investment.

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle™ Twin Bed:
We bought this for our son's second birthday. He had been disassembling his crib to get out so we figured it was time to move him into a big boy bed. He loved it from the minute we set it up. The high sides keep him safe in bed when he is asleep. He loves the doors and underneath "clubhouse". Its a great space to store toys and get them out of sight. Set up was easy and quick - I set it up myself in about 45 minutes with just a screw driver (although I highly recommend using an electric screwdriver). We love this bed and would buy it all over again!

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle™ Twin Bed:
This bed is just plain awesome. My son helped me put it together...I'm his mom and he said we are both worker guys =). It was fun...he hammered the screws and he did a darn good job at it. When it was all put together it was amazing. Much nicer and more fun than I had expected. There is nothing negative I can really say about it. I thought the cabinet pulls were metal so that was a little bit of a suprise but who cares? Not me...The bed is perfect. Only time will tell if it will actually keep my 3 1/2 year old in his bed the whole night. It won't bother me much if it doesn't though...they are only litte once. I climbed in bed with him to help him fall asleep. It is very sturdy. We didn't even buy a support board...all we have is the twin foam mattress we got on [@]. It doesn't seem to need anything but when he gets a little bigger I will probably add something just to keep it comfortable for him. He thinks he has the coolest be in the world and I think he might be right! Hey step 2 any plans to offer the lifestyle bed in a queen size? I'm serious...I'd buy it in a wink for sure. MADE IN USA!!!just a little icing on the cupcake....

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle™ Twin Bed:
My husband and I bought this bed for our 4 year old son. He loves the bed, and so do we! It will be used for many years to come! I am pleased with the sturdiness and look of the bed. My husband said it was very easy to set up, and a drill is very handing for the screws! I am short and the bed is easy to make up and I like that it wipes clean. The storage is also a plus. We own many Step 2 products and we have been very pleased with them all! Thank you Step 2 for another great product!!!

Service and delivery comments:
I wish I knew what a PITA is was going to be to change the sheets! Setup was easy. It's very unstable (kind of rickety?) and the doors are no longer closing; a latch would have been nice. IDK... my son loves it, but I just wish we hadn't purchased it. :(

Comments about Step2 LifeStyle™ Twin Bed:
We got this bed for our 3 year old son who was getting WAY too big for a "toddler" bed. He loves it! The area underneath is like his and my daughter's own little world. They get under there and just laugh like crazy, plus it acts as a toy box too! We seen the pics online and instantly loved it!
