 Daughter loves it! Dec 31, 2008

Sleigh Toddler Bed - Oak
My husband and I recently purchased this bed in oak for our 26 month old daughter. It was time for her to have a "Big Girl Bed" that wasn't quite full-sized, but still gave her the ability to get in and out on her own.
We're thrilled with the quality of the bed. My husband was able to put it together in a reasonably short period of time (about an hour from unpacking to clean-up)--and came with all the tools necessary to put it together. Aligning all the slats can be a bit of a pain because you have to put all 10 together on one side, and then attempt to put the other side on without them falling out or slipping out of place; other than that it went together fine and all the pieces fit together without any problem.
It fits a standard sized crib mattress (not included), and the bottom slats provide enough stability for the mattress so that even my eight year old has been able to throw her weight on it (although I did tell her not to do it again). So regular wear and tear from your toddler getting in and out shouldn't be an issue.
I like that it is light enough so I can easily move it around, but it is sturdy and heavy enough that it doesn't budge when she gets in and out. There is also enough room between the mattress and floor that you can easily swoop your arm around to remove lost toys that inevitably make their home under there.
I was worried about the sharp corner on the guard-rail, with good reason. My daughter has bumped her head on it a few times (I have no clue how), so we drape a large sherpa blanket over it and the mattress to add some padding--plus it gives a little extra protection for the sheet should she wet through her diaper. That seemed to do the trick. Other than that, there don't seem to be any other downsides to the bed.
And the best part is our daughter fell in love with it, and enjoys going to bed in it (well, she isn't exactly running to go to bed; but she wasn't afraid of it at all, and actually enjoys taking ownership of it). I definately recommend this as a transitional bed for your toddler who isn't ready for a full-height bed. The quality is great and the price is reasonable.

Repeat customer Jul 19, 2010
By Desert Rose
When my first son was ready to move to a toddler bed, I purchased one from another company. After trying three times to get a bed that had not been destroyed during shipping due to poor packaging, I ordered this DaVinci toddler bed, which arrived well-packed and in excellent condition. I was so pleased with the sturdiness and quality of this bed right from the start, and I was able to put it together by myself in under 30 minutes (even with my 2-year-old "helping"). Now, 18 months later, the bed is still in excellent condition, even with two toddler boys playing on it regularly. My younger son is now leaving his crib, and I purchased a second identical bed for him. Again, this bed arrived without even a scratch. Both of my boys love their beds, as does their Mama. For quality, style, and durability, I give a hearty two thumbs up!

 sweet and cute Feb 21, 2009
By Mommoe
We got this bed to transition our 2 year old out of his crib. It's easy to put together, well made, nice finish. It fit his crib mattress perfectly. It's only about 12" off of the floor, so even if he wriggled around so much that he fell out (past the side bars, not likely), he wouldn't fall very far (and it's never happened). It's great that it's so low, because he can get into bed by himself. The only caveat is that it has a 70 lb. weight limit, so don't kneel on it when you are tucking in, and our 5 year old boy can't play with his little brother on it. No great loss. Definitely recommend it.

Great bed for the value Jul 15, 2011
By RAE
This is a nice addition to my son's room. My son had to be placed in a bed (at 15 months) because we were expecting my second child and was planning on using the crib for the baby. We decided to use a toddler bed one month before the baby came so that he did not feel that we were giving the baby his crib. He did not like the bed at first, but after about 2 days, he liked it. The bed can take the weight of my husband (175lbs) or I with our son (27 lbs). Easy to assemble and nice wood finish.

Great looking bed / Good buy Jan 18, 2011
By Reggie Newton
Bed looks great. For someone who has assembled small furniture before, this was easy. It took less than 30 minutes to assemble. Only concern I had was the corners on the bed side rails. Put corner cushion covers on the two rails. It is a nice sturdy little bed. My grandson is enjoying his new big boy bed.
