I was hesitant to purchase this for my 9 yr old because shes a cry sleeper, but the side rails rise above the mattress a decent amount to where Im confident she wont fall. The assembly directions were easy to follow, although it was tedious process. It comes with an Allen wrench, its easier with a drill and bit. HOWEVER, the time and effort that goes into building this bed is worth it: its super sturdy! My daughter loves it it has opened so much more space in her room.
8 yr old loves it!
