I really like this bed. We got it for our young daughter and the headboard and frame is soft enough that she doesn't accidentally bump into it and hurt herself (she is a wild sleeper, and for when she is playing in her room). The only thing I wasn't sure of when putting it together was whether the pieces for the platform bed and regular bed go under and attach to the bed frame or just the platform bed pieces alone (I ended up using both to be safe). I wish the instructions were more clear on that. Otherwise, we love it!
