The edges are sharp. If that doesn't deter you enough, then buy at your own risk. Yes, they're rounded, but only in two dimensions, and not a crucial third dimension. They're not sharp like a knife, but sharp enough so that if your daughter accidentally bumps into it while getting in and out of bed, she will feel the pain like nothing else. If you lean on it just a little while tucking your daughter in, you'll get a pretty major bruise. And in the dark, it's quite easy for you or your daughter to kick or bump into it.I'm afraid to even think of the consequences if your daughter gets rowdy and jumps up and down on it.The two stars instead of one is because the art on it is pretty high quality, and it's sturdy for a light bed.

Much better than the cheaper plastic ones, while head and foot boards are made of laminated pressed wood, are solid and heavy. I think what often happens is during shipping, the fancy metal "hinge" for lack of a better word, that connects head and foot boards to the side boards get bent inwards (from boxes being stacked, etc.). Had to use pliers to pry them out a little bit. Other than that, and one slat beam hole misdrilled, fit perfectly. Very sturdy and not rickety at all as other reviewer noted. Was impressed at number of slats included (8) and everything is screwed (not nailed) for durability. Only thing I could think that would make it better would be if it had drawers underneath. Then, it would be a lot more expensive and complicated to put together I guess. Would buy again without hesitation. Good price on Amazon considering free shipping.

I bought this bed for my 3 year old granddaughter to sleep in at "YiaYia's" house because she told me she needed a "proper princess bed".This bed was EASY to put together, and while not an indestructable piece, it is sturdy enough for a 3 year old. It is mad of some kind of pressed board, but the connector seem to be pretty well thought out, and it isn't rickety. The pictures are adorable and the sides make her feel cozy. Great bed!!!
