This frame can be used in 3 ways as a child grows:
1) a crib, with the mattress pad at any of three heights
2) a toddler bed, with quarter railing across half of the opening
3) a full-size bed
This bed was used lightly with very few marks.
The mattress included will work with the crib and toddler bed; a separate mattress will be needed for the full bed.
Beautiful, sturdy construction. Not a drop-down front; all sides are securely fastened together.
The photos include: the crib with the mattress at low, medium and high; top-view of the crib; the toddler bed; the full bed; the front page of the manual; and the model/serial number label.
