I am very happy with this bed rail. Despite what others have said, I found it to be very easy to put together and works as expected. It was perfect for the platform bed that we have. I love that it slides under the mattress which makes making the bed much easier and you don't need to see it when not in use. I tried 2 other bedrails before deciding on this one and this one was by far the better choice.

All the other "fold down" rails hit the floor before they really fold down flush to the bed (despite the pictures on the boxes) and that was my big issue. I have a day bed for my daughter and really wanted to use her cut comforter but all the big rails got in the way. But this one is great because it folds away during the day and I can make up her cute bed. It was fairly simple to put together. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it is a bit ackward to put up and down every day. The pins can be a bit fussy when I'm trying to put it up and down, but I've gotten the hang of it. And most importantly, it locks into place very tightly so I feel my daughter is safe

This is the second bed rail I've tried and I like it the best.

I disagree that assembly is difficult. The instructions could be more clear about the direction that the pieces are facing during assembly but it's otherwise fairly straight-forward.

It is great if you need to take it somewhere; it disassembles into a small set of tubes and comes with a carrying bag. The product is rather heavy, though, so it may not work for air travel.

The other product I used had mostly plastic pieces and broke easily. This is mostly metal and very sturdy.

My daughter sleeps right up against it (like she was in a crib) and it is very secure.

Beware of products with lots of plastic as they break with normal usage.

do not like this product
it is very hard to get rail under bed
pops out of rails track and it is sooo hard to get back in track

We've had this bed rail for about two months now for our 3 1/2 year old on his full size "big boy bed". We're quite satisfied with it.

Construction: Very sturdy, our son jumps on his bed and rolls around and the bed rail stays put and does not seem like it could possibly give way. The mesh is soft which is good for the times when he wedges himself in the corner to sleep. We tug on it from time to time and it's not going anywhere.

Assembly: Not too easy, the instructions are horrible, but once you realize on your own how it's supposed to go, the actual assembly is OK, but not quick. Very easy to adjust the width to your bed with the simple strap feature.

Hide away feature: This is what took away the 5th star. It's not very easy to unlock and push it under the bed. That feature works but requires some wrangling. If you want the hide away feature for once in a while, I wouldn't let that stop you from buying it, if you plan to hide the rail daily, I don't recommend it for that.

Making the bed: Easy to tuck the sheets around it, no need to hide away or struggle.

Overall, I would highly recommend this bed rail, I read all the reviews, and asked many friends, and this seemed to be the best in all areas, and a good value for the price, considering other can be well over $xx.
