To those who still have the item, did the canopy seem flimsy and do the sides open up "enclosing" the bed?

Well the kids won't be able to hang on the bar of course but my 3 year old still hasn't broken it. It's fairly sturdy and as far as the sides go, they are installed the way they are in the picture. It's always open. Hope this helps!

It is kind of flimsy, not to the point where it'll just fall over but kids can't swing on it or it'll come apart. I've thrown a blanket on the top of it and it sags a bit but didn't collapse. The curtains do not close around the bed, they're just for show around the bars.

My wife and I have slept on it for over a year, and none of the slats or slat joints have any visible damage or wear. In fact, we moved to a new place a couple of months ago, and I inspected everything before reassembling.Plastic joints do seem a bit flimsy, but they aren't designed to carry weight, but only to keep the slats from sliding.

I would like to share that this unit weathers very quickly. We have had it since July 2013 and the canopy is all faded and its looking old. So, I would encourage you to continue your searches.....hope this is helpful. Have a great day!

We only used it once almost a year ago, so I am trying to remember. It seems like it was pretty easy to put up and take down, but my husband and did it together. Sorry I can't be of more help. We enjoyed this screen house and plan to use it again this fall at the beach when we go camping. We wanted a large screen house with a floor and this one fits the bill. The only thing I wish it had was a rain fly.

White square top bed canopy is only flimsy netting. The support is part of the bed.

I have the same bed and I don't use a frame. Its pretty high off the ground. Its not necessary to me but its your opinion what u like

No...it is very flimsy. Canvas ripped after 3 weeks. Company did send us a replacement canopy but I do not think it will last through the summer.

Good questions Joan. No I don't have that problem. I've been happy with it. It fits over my deep sized mattress and has stood up with multiple washings. I think you'd be happy with it.

the bed has four postd and frame between the post so it is canopy ready, I've actually put sheer curtains around on the frame and a canopy over it. perfect for hibernation:)

The bed came folded in half and then folded again. - air tight. I know it doesnt exactly answer your question but hope it helps!

The sides are open, no plastic there at all and the slats are wide enough that they don't keep little hands (and arms) from reaching inside and wrecking havoc. That was a concern for me and so the piece didn't work out AT ALL for my intended use. If that's not an issue for you then it would be ok.

Yes, it comes with the canopy and extra compartment. Folds up easily. Semi-comfortable, we use a blanket sometimes for extra comfort (don't have too though). It works great for young kids 3-6. I like it.

We still have ours and it seems to be holding up well. I can't remember when we bought it though. Probably over a year ago, or around a year. My only complaint is that it seems to move and every couple of months I have to re-center it. Could be the way we get on and off the bed if we scoot or something. I don't really know.

Hi, I have the canopy packed away until next market season; however, we didn't have anyone bump their heads on the canopy with the legs fully extended. I am not able to measure exactly for you but again, no head bumping on the frame or side overlap. We always kept the legs in the 2nd extension not fully at the 3rd.

I trust you are talking about the white bed in the picture. I did not buy this bed but I chose the Stratton day bed. It is quite sturdy and i use it quite often. I'm by no means a skinny young thing&#128515;. I did choose the Blooming Prairie set and it is just as pictured...quite pretty. The dust ruffle is rather flimsy and cheap looking, however, so I did not use it. I store things in baskets under the bed and it looks nice.

Agree with Mike H. The slats were just a hair too short. My husband (weight: 240) laid on his side and a few of the slats instantly fell out. For me (weight: 120), it was fine but I was a bit hesitant at first. Now that we've had the bed for about a month, so far so good. Overall, the structure of the bed is sturdy and feels sturdy.

Yes, it is the same all the way around. There's a protective cloth cover that comes with it (already on). That could be why the picture looks the way it does. So far, it has stood up to 2 large dogs and myself :) there doesn't seem to be any sagging after waking up-super comfy nonetheless. I'm super pleased. The only thing is I have a wood slat platform and the mattress slides (very slightly) not enough to be a big deal. Also, I have a bedskirt on it...that could be the issue. Overall, super happy with it. Hope that helps!
