Customer Review: Worth the Effort
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this bed for our grandson for his 3rd birthday. I had read many of the reviews on here and decided to buy it since our little guy is such a fan of Cars, and he was getting ready to go from a youth bed to a "big boy bed". When the bed arrived (at my son's house) the box was very damaged and upon opening the box, my son found that the bed was also damaged. It was scratched and scraped and, for this kind of money, we wanted a NEW bed in new condition! I went through the process (and it WAS a process) of ordering a new bed and making arrangements to return the first one. The second bed arrived in an intact box. My son put the decals on before assembling the bed, as was recommended by some other reviewers. Unfortunately, one sheet of decals was missing! He went ahead and put the bed together and my grandson was thrilled when he saw it (missing decals and all)! I contacted Amazon about the missing decals and, so far, they haven't sent them. Overall, we are pleased with the bed. It seems sturdy and we got my grandson a mattress and foundation both and it's just the right height. (Some other reviewers had suggested to get only a mattress and a sheet of plywood.) My grandson is happy with his new Lightning McQueen bed and that's really what matters the most!Customer Review: Best "Big Boy" Bed EVER!

WOW! Our [almost] 3 yr old son was bouncing all over the room when he saw his new 'Big Boy' bed. He did not want to leave the room, even for dinner! We got the sheets and bedspread also and he had to place his Lightning McQueen cars on their respective characters. Chick Hicks had to go on Chick Hicks, the King had to go on the King, etc. The bed is perfect for any little boy who is into Lightning McQueen and is extremely durable! The first night he slept in the bed he slept in until 6 am! He is usually up at 5! It takes some time to assemble and add all the stickers but I did it in approx 2 hours. I highly recommend using a washcloth dipped in [slightly] soapy water to help place the stickers in their correct locations. Don't rush on this part! The sticker placement is important! Also, add the stickers BEFORE assembling the bed. Gently rub the washcloth over the area you are about to place a sticker on and then gently set it in place. Then use a dry cloth to rub the water out from under the sticker. There are 5 large pages of stickers and you do not want to get this part wrong. The actual assembly takes less than 15 minutes. Awesome bed! Durable! Highly Recommended!Customer Review: Waste of Money

This bed was great for all of a week. Our son quickly removed the stickers on the bed, which had taken my wife hours to apply, the second he was allowed back into his room. These stickers were on huge sheets, and sometimes ripped. Once the stickers were ripped off, you can't replace them, so you're stuck with a bright red car bed. It's actually quite large, larger then we anticipated, and it's remarkably light. Our three year old could push it all over his room and get to things he couldn't reach. We kept losing toys to the spaces left between the mattress and the bed itself, and had to often take the mattress completely out to get everything underneath. This item was not worth the time, money and effort for the whole week that it actually looked like the picture. We can't wait for our son to outgrow the thing so we can get something smaller, affordable, and versatile. This product would have been better had they fixed the gap issue, and pre-applied the stickers with a nice coating of clear plastic over it to protect them. Now the thing looks like absolute crap, and it's an embarrassment. No stars if that was even possible.Customer Review: This product is REALLY AWESOME!!!

The bed got delivered on Friday, and we are putting it up today. It took my husband about 1 hour to put it all together, including the decals stickers. My son was SOOOOOOO excited he was jumping all over the place and saying: ohhhhhhhhh dad, soooooooo cool :) It was really funny to see his expression. This product is so durable; from reading the other reviews, I would recommend what most suggested, that purchasing a plywood, perhaps the size that would fit a bunkbed, prior to placing the mattress on top so that the mattress is not so high above the frame that your little one falls off. It is pricey and wished it included the mattress for the price. If you order it through Amazon, including shipping you will pay approximately $396.00 depending on where you live of course (we are in Ga). One could always compare Walmart's price which although you may see $300+, you may come out cheaper with Walmart because they have free site to store; this means free shipping directly to the closest location to you and they'll email you once your product comes. Other than that, GO GET Made in the USA TOO!!:)Customer Review: Best Bed in the world !!!!!

Our son absolutely would NOT sleep in his own bed, until we received our McQueen bed. It's pricey, but sooooooooo worth it!!! Recommendation, if you're purchasing a new mattress and box spring, make sure that the mattress is NOT a "plush" or "pillowtop". We bought a brand new mattress at Sams and they had a plush version and a 'cheaper' model. We liked the plush version, but realized it was probably too tall to fit in the bed. Sure enough, the cheaper mattress fits better and our 3 year doesn't weigh enough to need a more expensive mattress. The bed itself is super easy to put together, just make sure you space the slats out far enough to support weight on all areas of the bed, so no tipping happens. The decals were easy for me. There's a LOT of stickers and you just have to really focus on where they should go. It only took about 30 minutes to put them all on. I recommend this bed for ANY parents having trouble getting their little ones to sleep alone! They fit IN the bed, not ON the bed, so they feel more secure!!! Best thing we've ever bought for him!!
