 my son loves it!!!Jul 15, 2010
The packaging size wasn't as big as I initially thought, it was just long and you definitely need a pickup track to get it home. I took other's advice for putting on the stickers on the side that is facing the wall first so that I could do a much better job for the other side. It took me around 1.5 hours to put everything together. I didn't use the spring box, I bought the plywood at Home Depot and had them cut it into 39 x 75 inches instead. Others are right, there are gaps around the bed for twin size mattress and it can be a problem for little kids. I bought a twin size comforter and use it to cover the mattress and fill up the gaps instead. Everything was perfect and most importantly seeing my son being so happy when he saw his bed was priceless!!!

Our son LOVES this bed!Jun 08, 2010
Pros: *Easy to assemble. It came in 4 large pieces, the tires, plus the decals.
*Pretty sturdy
*very vibrant and true to the actual character.
*Quick delivery
*Good customer service (more on that later)
*Will be easy to disassemble when we move
*The sides are high enough so our little guy doesn't roll out ( he sleeps like a spinning top)
*There are no sharp corners or edges on it. The bolts used to hold it together come with little caps to put over them so they blend right in and don't become obljects of interest for little fingers.
Cons:
*The box thaclipboard and on the copy of the receive slip I had to sign. There was NO WAY I was going t this got delivered in was MASSIVE. It touched our ceiling. I thought the bed would be broken down more but its just 4 large pieces and the tires. Also, I don't know how everyone else's was handled, but the delivery guy was instructed to just leave it on the curb. It said so right there on his shipment slip! There was just no way I was going to be able drag it up to our apartment by myself so he put it on the dolly and did it for me and told me not to tell anyone!!! I was SHOCKED. The thing weighs over 100lbs, I don't know how they expect someone to carry it alone.
* The decals for this bed are a bitch to apply. They are very large and very sticky and hard to line up just right. Air bubbles are nearly inevetable but if you take your time and go slowly, it will turn out just fine. It took me about an hour to do them all. I would also suggest doing all the decals BEFORE you assemble the bed. It's much easier to have the pieces laid flat to put the decals on.
* Once I had applied the decals and was ready to put the thing together, I discovered that the holes for the bolts were too large and would never hold the bed together. I called Little Tikes and they asked for the product number and shipped us new bolts, no questions asked, no exta cost. The girl was so friendly and helpful, but she told me her son's bed didn't even HAVE holes for the bolts, she had to drill them herself. She said we weren't the first ones to call with this problem so just be aware that you could have the same issue.
* Its much larger than I thought it would be. This isn't nessecarily a bad thing, I suppose I just had a different size in my head.Be sure you have the room!
* The three pieces of wood they send you to support the mattress are NOT going to support the mattress by themselves. Go get a piece of plywood to put under there also. We went 2 inches thick and 39x75.
Overall, we're pretty happy with our purchase. Our son actually puts himself to bed because he's just SO excited to be in it! It was fun for all of us to decorate his room to match his new bed and its really a cute center piece for the room. I'm giving it 5 stars because despite the minor hiccups we had along the way, the end product brings our son so much joy that it makes the hassle totally worth it! If you've got a McQueen super fan like us, this bed will not disappoint!

 Great Bed but....Feb 03, 2010
My 3 yr old son loves this bed. It took us less than 30 minutes to put it all together (with the help of a cordless screwdriver). My son immediately claimed it to be, "my bed"! We have the mattress sitting on the wooden slats included in the box. Looks really great and the scale creates an amazing presence in the room. We read all the reviews but could not find the inner measurement where the mattress would sit...so buyers beware! A standard twin mattress is actually a little smaller than the inner measurement of the bed which is 40 1/2 inches X 75inches (a standard twin mattress is only 38x74). We had to fill up the gap with a body pillow and some old blankets so my son's arms and legs won't get caught in the gap. In the end my son loves it, my husband loves it...so I'm happy!
