While it did take both my husband and myself to put the bed together, it wasn't too difficult. We love this bed and so does my daughter, who is obsessed with princesses. It is very sturdy, we've had not problems with the boards that support the mattress (we set it up per the instructions). It has taken a beating and still looks brand new, crayons wipe right off! The only small complaint is with the nightlight. It is a pain to change the batteries, which must be done often as my 4 year-old loves to use it. I wish it had and ac adapter to come with it, or recommended one to use. It looks like it has a jack for it, but no info about it. Other than that, it's perfect!

My little girl loves this bed. It works very well for her age (She is 3). We haven't expanded it yet to the toddler bed, but will do so soon. No complaints.

my grandaughter loves it [...] [...] overall my grand daughter loves it
from Central New Jersery on 9/2/2008
I purchased this bed for my daughter, who is 26 months old. Her room is done in a Princess (not Disney) theme - and I felt this bed would fit in well with the decor. I set it up by myself in about an hour. The assembly was not difficult and the instructions were simple to follow (although I do recommend using an electric screwdriver for the long screws). My daughter just smiled and smiled when she saw it, and loves going to bed in her big girl bed. Her room is average size, so the flip desk is an efficient use of space. I am using it in the toddler bed setup now, but I am very happy to have the option to convert it to use a twin mattress as she gets older. This bed will last her at least 4 years, if not longer. Kudos to Step 2 for offering such a product that is easy to setup/maintain, stylish, and imaginative!
I couldn't believe the review that this bed was unstable. My daughter had this bed for 4 years (we didn't convert to the twin) and absolutely loved it. It was very sturdy, took lots of abuse, and still looked brand new when we took it down. Perhaps it is because we used a drill and laid a board over the three wooden slats that were provided? I would never describe this bed as unsturdy. One thing I loved about it, when she was two years old, was that the sides where slightly raised to create a little "bump" to warn her when she was too close to the edge. She never rolled out of this bed at night. It is the perfect little girl dream bed, and you feel nice and snug and closed in when pushed against a wall with the tall head and footboards. I would recommend it to anyone.
We bought this for our daughter when she was still an infant because we just knew this was perfect for her. We finally transitioned her at 2.5 yrs old when we moved to our new house... straight from the crib to this bed she slept soundly the first night!! We added a canopy netting hanging from the ceiling and her whole room is princess themed. It goes perfect. Most of all I love the design. It was easy to put together and strong enough for an adult to lay on if necessary for those middle of the night cries. The only thing is I do not recommend an adult stands on the edges or anywhere on this bed... because the plastic will crack in the weaker spots. Laying down seems fine but not standing. However my daughter is now 6 and she jumps up and down on it and it's still as sturdy as the day we put it together!!! Now we unfortunately can't convert it to a twin because her bedroom is too small to fit the longer bed length, but if we could we would definitely use this until at least 10 years old. So as we are transitioning to a daybed setup, we must sell this wonderful beautiful princess bed... I'm listing it on [...] today and will be sad to get rid of it.
from Geneva, OH on 8/18/2008
Wow, I have read some of these comments and am stunned at some of the issues!
We bought this bed for out 2 1/2 year old. She absolutely loves it, but what little girl wouldn't.
We have had no problems with it in toddler bed form or twin bed form, which we have recently converted to. The bed is sturdy and heavy! My Chloe has jumped on the bed MANY times with no problems of falling apart or the boards slipping.
The extra bonus.... while using the draw bridge to color in her books she put marker all over the end of the bed. Guess what? Came right of the very next day (when I found it) without a problem, just wipes off because of the material the bed is made out of.
This bed is worth every penny spent!

The Castle Bed is Beautiful in pictures.Looking at it on the step 2 site I thought itwould be a Great Bed for Toddlers, Not!Absolutly No Jumping on this bed or it will comeapart. And of Course it is All Plastic, so afterThe first initial Love of Having a Castle Bed it then becomes a Big Toy. Best for 5 yrs to 10 Yrs.but it is suitable for any age, My daughter's older sister naps on the bed too and she's 20 yrs old. And Yes the Light Stopped working within2 weeks could just be the Battery. The main problem I have with the bed is after assembling itand using it for a few days it falls apart and has to be assembled again, The plastic pieces don't snap together and stay, and the bunkie board is 3 pieces not 1 large piece, so all the pieces slide with the matteress and the bed comes apart. Which is very dangerous when you're sleeping on it and it falls apart. Since I already have the bed I'm thinking about ordering a 1 piece bunkie board which cost an additional [$][...]. This is the only way I can probably keep the bed togetherbecause the 3 boards do not stay together, If I find a way to fix this problem I'll post another message. but for now on a 1 to 5 star rating the bed would only receive 4 stars from me. It gets 4 stars because my daughter loves it. butfor something this expensive I'm disappointedand may have to buy another Bed in the near future, Something more sturdy.
from Houston, Texas on 7/7/2008
I have absolutely NO complaints about this bed. I can't get my little girl out of it! This is the perfect transition bed. It is easy to assemble, comfortable (I tried it myself), adorable, fun, and stylish! My 29 month old can't get enough of her "princess bed!" I love it, she loves it, and my husband loves it because we love it! :) PERFECT!
from Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. on 7/5/2008
I bought this bed for my daughter when she turned 3. We went straight to twin bed since she is tall for her age. The assembly was easier than I expected. My daughter loves the spaces for dolls on headboard, nightlight, and table. Not only does my daughter love the bed, but so does our cat! We have had a few rough nights where I have had to get into bed with her to get her to fall asleep, but mommy was so comfortable, I fell asleep first! I would and have recommended this bed to friends and family.

My daughter loves her big girl bed, she is almost 2 years old and it has just enough lip on it to help her find the edge so that she doesn't end up on the floor, it is so cute and fits her princess themed room perfectly.

I was so thrilled when I came across this castle bed because it's everything I thought it be. It's the perfect size,the price is reasonable for what your getting, it's easy to get in and out of it's solid and the most important thing is our daughter loves it! I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for something fun and playful for their child.

from Florida on 3/28/2008
We are very pleased with this bed. My husband and I put it together tonight as a toddler bed for our little one. Very easy to put together. The drill came in handy to make things a little faster. This bed is adorable. [...]
We bought this bed for our 2 year old girl. Putting it together was very easy and very sturdy. She was so excited when we finished it she wanted to go to bed right then. She loves that she can turn on the light whenever she wants. Getting her to go to bed has never been this easy. We looked at a lot of beds and I am so glad we decided to buy the Dream Castle bed.

from Colorado on 2/14/2008
We got one for each of our two girls and set up one as the twin size and other as the toddler size. Both set-ups were fast and easy and the girls love their new beds. We like that we can sit on the edges to read bedtime stories. We can highly recommend these beds and are very glad that we decided to get them!

from Charlotte, NC on 1/20/2008
Got this for my daughter for Christmas, ordered early, it arrived much faster than estimated. Box is big, but no pictures on it, so able to keep it in box in garage without spoiling daughter's surprise. My husband put the bed together single-handedly on Christmas Eve in less than two hours. Assembly was very quiet, we didn't have to worry about waking the kids. No sharp edges or uneven seams (a problem we've had with the car bed another company makes). Very sturdy, I feel comfortable sitting on the side of the bed to read bedtime stories. Colors are very complimentary to each other and perfect for a princess themed room without being overwhelmingly girly. It is quite a bit larger than a regular toddler bed, my daughter felt like she was upgrading to a big girl bed, even though it was still using her crib/toddler bed mattress. We loved that everything to convert it to a twin bed was included in the purchase price and that it all stores under the toddler sized bed until you are ready to use them. My daughter LOVES the night light, but I wish it used A/C power instead of batteries.

We bought this bed for our 2 year old. She loves it and can't wait to sleep in it! I thought transitioning from the crib to the bed would be difficult, but not with this bed. The dream bed has so many features that it is fun for the child. She loves the night light. It was easy to put together and is made in the U.S. You can't beat that! We love this bed.

from San Diego, CA on 11/25/2007
At 14 months, our daughter was already trying to climb out of her crib, so we purchased this bed. As the crib mattress sits down in the frame, it prevents her from rolling out. And if she does want to climb out in the middle of the night, the bed is low enough to our tile floor to prevent injury. The plastic has a smooth feel and there are no rough or sharp corners, so we also don't have to worry about our child hurting herself on the bed.

Thank you for being proudly made in the USA. It's so hard to find anything now a days. Being able to turn to step2 without any hesitation is so relieving. I have recommended this bed and step2 to lots of people, because of the products and their committment to stayning in this great land of ours.

My daughter got this just before her 2nd bday and LOVES it! It is super, super cute and imaginative. Now she is turning 3 and we're converting it to a twin. She is still very into the bed and I anticipate will be for a least a few more years! Makes a cute fairy forest room, princess room, etc. A great buy for the buck.

We got this bed for our little girl at age 14 months. She didn't seem to sleep well in her crib anymore, so we tried this bed because it is low to the floor and did not need a box springs. She is now 2 and has never fallen off and sleeps through the night. The table is also a favorite place for her to play and have tea parties. We have it set up as a twin bed and I love that there is room for me to sit beside her to read books. She is very happy with it and we would highly recommend it to anyone.

from Somewhere Michigan on 9/21/2007
My daughter saw this bed on line when we were discussing the bed to buy my youngest son. She fell in love with it and since I am an avid purchaser of STEP2 products we decided to give it a try. She fell in love with the bed at first sight. We had a really hard time finding the product because they are in the process of discontinuing it. I wont even begin to tell you the amount we dropped on shipping. It was simple to put together and the nice thing about step2 products is that they can be taken apart easily. Well worth the money I spent on it. Plus the resale value of the bed when she gets older will be good as well.

from Virginia on 9/12/2007
I bought this bed based on the reviews and because I wanted a safe bed with no sharp edges. I have no regrets. It is fantastic. My daughter (2) loves it and sleeps in it all night. The best "feature" of this bed is the wide rails, which allow a body pillow to be placed next to the wall without taking up any mattress space. No more midnight wake-ups caused by hitting the wall. The wide rail on the other side lets her know where the edge of the bed is, so she has not fallen off. And it's slightly lower than other beds so she can easily climb in and out. I use the twin version (the extensions are included for twin configuration) and it was relatively easy to put together but I could not do it without a drill. For those with plastic guilt, I note that the entire thing can be recycled, but that would probably never happen as people would unquestionably want this bed as a hand-me-down. [...]
Absolutely fabulous bed!!! Our daughter has used it from age 2-5. Only had to move up because we had another daughter and had to get bunkbeds. Awesome, awesome bed for your little girl!!!!

from howard beach, ny on 8/31/2007
we got this bed when our daughter turned 1 years old and she absolutely loved it and still does she is now 5 years old!!! i would recommend this to anyone and everyone. i now have a 6 month old son which i will eventually be purchasing his bed from step 2 as well. thank you very much for a great product. worth every penny!!!!!!
We bought this bed for our own little princess when she was 2. She's now 6 and we're going to purchase the extensions for it. She loves this bed and so do we. My husband cut a piece of plywood to use on the base as a mattress support. Worked perfectly. This bed is definitely worth the money.
I absolutely love this bed! I bought one for my oldest daughter and now am buying a second for you youngest. The only thing I would say is, that the side doesn't come up very high so you may need to get guards for the side. But other htan that I absolutely love this bed.
from Akron, Ohio on 8/6/2007
I bought this bed for my 5 year-old and she loves it It makes her feel like a princess. I wish every bed was this easy to put together and move. Thanks for a great product.
My 2 1/2 yr old daughter loves her bed. I wish I would have had the camera out to catch her smile when she saw it for the 1st time. It was very easy to put together. [...] The only part that I think could use some improvement is the base supports. Don't get me wrong, they are good and solid, just think maybe a one-piece board might be better. I would give this bed all thumbs up!!!
from surprise, az on 7/9/2007
My daughters crib fell apart when she was 18 months old (after 3 kids) although I was VERY reluctant to purchase a "big girl bed" I didn't see the point of buying another crib for 6 months or so. I found this bed online and I have loved it since the day we put it together. My daughter adapted well, and has now had it for 6 months and I am thrilled with it. She has never fallen out of it, and loves the little light and the shelves. I am so happy it converts to a twin when I need it too and it looks so cute in her room. I would recommend this to anyone!!!
from PA on 7/8/2007
Great bed, it holds myself and my daughter very well for the nights that she wants to snuggle!! and very easy to move around if you need to rearrange!

i just bought this and my daughter loves it we had the house bed before and now we have this princess castle
from Emerald Coast, FL on 6/21/2007
I bought this for my toddler when she was about 2 months shy of turning 2. The minute I assembled the bed, she jumped in and played on it all day. It's been almost 2 years since then, and we've moved THREE times (across several states each time!) and the bed continually holds up to disassembly and reassembly.
Now she's in the twin version, and the bed is as comfortable and fun as ever. This was a GREAT buy--and I had not one of the problems other friends had when they transitioned from crib to toddler bed, nor any problems toddler bed to twin. I'd buy it again all over (and am now, in fact, planning to get the car bed for my son next year).
My only complaint is the one about the boards that support the mattress. They simply lay on top of the plastic ledges in the frame, and you cannot secure them (which lends itself to falling out of place every few weeks). I think the boards also could be a touch longer, so that they wouldn't fall out as they do. It's a VERY small complaint, and one board falling out does NOT make the mattress fall out (since two other boards remain in place). It's simply an inconvenience.

We bought one for each of our daughters for their "Princess Room" when they were toddlers then they started selling extensions to twin size. The girls love them still especially the desk & nightlight features (they're 7 & 9 now). Thank you for GREAT products
from Arizona on 5/14/2007
This toddler bed is easy to put together. All pieces fit very well. Cute design. Easy to move the bed when re-arranging the room furniture. Our child loves it! Nice that it is designed for a toddler to young child. Longer use by having this type of design.
from NJ on 4/19/2007
Easy to assemble and my daughter loves it. The only problem was that the drawbridge at the end was upside down so I had to flip it. Other than that there were no problems

My daughter, who is 2, was so excited from the time we unloaded it to the time it was assembled. She took EVERYONE to her room to see her bed. She loves it!
