Customer Reviews
Come on, people.
Some of these complaints are silly. The guard rails are in the middle of the bed? Of course they are- they're there to keep the body of your toddler from falling out. The packaging was messy and some vacuuming occurred? You spend an hour trying to take apart any packaging from Fisher-Price, and then talk to me about the downsides of P'kolinos packaging.
Would you like a modern toddler bed, that is made of solid wood, with sound construction, that arrives in one piece, that fits pretty much every toddler mattress, and when you're DONE with this whole silly toddler bed nonsense, it's still a viable piece of furniture? Yes? Well friends. Look no further. I am a hefty mama, and I can attest to the fact that I can lay on that bed, during rough nights, and rub a toddler back. I can attest to the paint not coming off, even during rabid teething sessions. I can tell you how sharp it looks in a room. I can tell you how wonderfully simple the directions to put it together were. And you, my friend, can buy this bed and enjoy. Wahoo!

VOC's - UPDATE
The P'kolino Toddler bed gets high marks for style, craftsmanship, ease to put together and construction materials (they even use stainless steel bolts). The Packaging is second to none. In fact the bed arrived without damage from UPS and they tried their best to damage the contents. It looked as if the box was shipped from East Timor and not AZ. The areas I disliked are: Lots of styrofoam and this silky like fabric that went between all the wooden parts. During shipment it degraded to a fine fiber that covered all the wooden parts. We had to vacuum and clean all the parts prior to putting the bed together. The most disturbing reason the one star was that after finishing the bed my wife noticed a odor being emitted from the bed. In fact i became so worried about the VOC smell that I took the bed apart and placed it outside in the middle of the night. This is a child's bed for God's sake. It seems that in this day and time they would use materials or paints that would not possibly cause harm to you child by emitting VOC's. The bed is outside and will stay there until I deem it safe for my child.
UPDATE from Mom - Going from one star to four. We've got the beds back in the twins' room and man are they cute looking. I like these much better than a converted crib because of their low height and sleek design. I think it is worth it to have some special furniture for these next 2-3 years. My babes would be drowning in a real twin size and having only the mattress on the floor just added to the chaotic monkeys jumping on the bed. (!!!!) The smell I think was most from the fire retardant on the cushions which are still outside and perhaps headed to recycling or garden. One thing I like about the design is that the limited entry and exit points at head and foot of bed make it easier for me to get through these tough days of sleep training. It takes the boys a second longer to scooch to the edge of the bed to get out so I can get to them before their feet hit the ground and coach them back to laying down. The high sides and a thin crib/toddler duvet from Ikea are also great to keep them kind of sheltered like a crib with their view hidden from each other. It just helps a little that they can't see me while I am doing the SuperNanny waiting in the dark to keep them in bed. Overall a thumbs up from us.

Attractive and solid toddler bed
We bought this bed for our daughter, who was a little over 2 and ready to move out of her crib.
PROS:
- Attractive design: modern and fun but still kid-appropriate
- Solid construction: shake it and it doesn't move easily
- Decent price: not the cheapest bed out there, but far from the most expensive
- Easy to assemble: takes about an hour, all tools included, reasonably clear instructions
- Converts to a chair: we haven't done this yet, but it seems easy enough to do when the time is right, and it comes with the necessary cushions
- Rollout proof (absent lots of contortions, which our daughter sometimes does)
CONS:
- Not the most intuitive layout: because the sideboards are right in the middle of the bed, the spaces to crawl in and out are a little tight; it's not a big deal once the child gets used to it, but it's not obvious at first what the best way in/out is.
- Low headboard: as others have pointed out, it's pretty easy for little heads to get bonked on it when first getting used to the bed. We covered the headboard with a quilt and that solved the problem during the transition.
Overall, it's a solid and attractive bed. Just be careful of the headboard!

Fun, modern toddler bed
I recently bought this bed for my 2 1/2 yr old son who figured out how to climb out of his crib. It took my husband and I less than an hour to put together. If you've ever put together an Ikea bookcase or dresser, this is along the same lines. Takes some concentration, but not difficult at all. My son loves it and it looks very cute in his room. My only complaint is that it is sold as easy to convert to a chair and back to a bed when you have to actually remove screws and use your tools to do so. When he grows out of it we won't be quickly converting it to a bed again for sleepovers. But overall we are very happy with our purchase.

more than just a toddler bed
I purchased this Toddler Bed for my son, he just turned 3. It is a solid piece with the great added functionality that it turns into a chair. I found the headboard to be similar to other toddler beds and with its rounded corners I found no problem with it. Looks great and is not that expensive. I would recommend!
