Beautiful furniture
"We got this bed along with the matching dresser and trundle for my 3 year old son. The furniture is beautiful. The trundle has come in handy so many times now. So glad we got this. I think my son's bedroom furniture looks nicer than mine."

Great look, great quality
"This bed is exactly what we wanted for our son's big-boy bed: simple, clean lines and exceptional quality. We have the bedrails that come with it as well. I've recommended this set to several friends already."

Beautiful bed
"We just received and assembled this bed for our 3 year old. Assembly was easy and it's a very sturdy piece of furniture. I know we'll get many years of use from it!"

Great Quality
"We just bought this bed for our 7 year old and his new room. We were so pleased when it arrived and was the great quality we have come to expect from CB and Land of Nod. We are very happy with our purchase, got a great price and delivery as quick and easy."

Beyond Simple
"We just bought this bed for my 2 year old son. He loves it as a first big boy bed! We got the nightstand and he loves keeping legos in the drawer. I love the espresso one. The color looks great and adds to the style of the bed. Best choice so far!"

"Great sturdy piece, classic mission style--finish on it could be a little harder, but easy to touch up and strikingly beautiful, especially in espresso."

Good, but a little bare bones
"We like this bed for our 3 year old, but it isn't the sturdiest thing ou there. The frame for under the mattress is basically just a line of two-by-fours connected by a strip of fabric."

Gorgeous and solid
"We have random Nod pieces around the house, so when it was time to buy a big girl bed, this was our choice. It looks beautiful in my daughter's room, and we will definitely buy other pieces to match as she grows."

"We have the full Espresso simple bed. It is so luxurious, I wish I had one! Come on, Land Of Nod, --consider making a queen!! Kidding aside, awesome piece of furniture that I hope my son has through college. It's sturdy, unbelievably handsome, timeless style, and solid and safe."

Stylishly Simple
"I love my son's espresso simple bed each time I wake him up and each time I tuck him in. We spend lots of time reading books together and the guard rail that matches made it a great transition from crib to big-boy bed."

GREAT bed
"Excellent quality, very sturdy and the wood color very nice. My boy who is 5 just love it !
Be careful if you buy the matching Twin Plush Simmons mattress, it doesn't completly fit onto the bed, it leaves about 3" space on the side... I would have prefered it to match better. The mattress is fantastic though, very confortable."

Love this bed
"This bed looks so beautiful in my daughter's room. I am now going to buy a second one for my other daughter! The only complaint I had is the foot board had a big ugly sticker on it about not putting children under 5 in a top bunk. But I didn't buy a bunk bed... The sticker did not come off easily (by design i'm sure) so I have to cover it up with her stuffed animals. Same with the bed rails."

great bed
"I bought this bed for my son's "big boy" room makeover. I love the clean lines and simple design. The wood is a little soft and dents/scratches easily, but overall I love this bed."

poor finish
"We purchased this bed and dresser two years ago for our son and are very disappointed by the quality of the espresso finish. It started chipping almost immediately and now looks horrible. Childrens bedroom furniture should be able to withstand normal wear and tear of a child crawling into bed without damage, and this has not."

scratches easily, tight fit
"Dents and scratches easily, which stands out with the light wood underneath the dark finish.
Bed does not accommadate both a comforter and quilt. I can barely get sheets and quilt to tuck in at foot of bed and frame."

Beautiful bed!
"We bought two of these beds and are very pleased with them. The dark color of the wood looks lovely with their neutral room decor but will still look great when it's changed as they get older."

Restful Nights
"For months my husband and I were dreading transitioning our 2 year old from the crib to a twin bed. Recently we purchased the Espresso Simple Bed from Land of Nod. Our son loves his new big bed! Mom and Dad are also so pleased with the quality of furniture and the restful nights! We had no problems at all making the “big bed” transition. The furniture looks great and will last for years to come. Horary to sleeping throughout the night! Thank you Land of Nod."
