I read a the review s before buying and I knew some of the problems that I was going to run into and yes I did, but I'm still satisfied. Took me 15min with help from my husband, but it was all done and didn't fit my toddler bed but I'm still keeping it bc as long as its stable and hold her in bed it's a keeper for me and she loves it too. It did not rip on me. If you put it together correctly u will not end up ripping if u but it wrong and pull on it took much by stretching to much yes it will rip. So I give it a 5 star bc I like it and my baby does too lol.

I actually used this product to keep an elderly woman I take care of safe and in bed. She can't walk on her own with out falling and would forget this at night! I was able to set it up by myself though it would have been easier with 2 people. It is very sturdy and fits very well on her queen size bed. She has shaken it quite hard and it stays in place. My only complaint is that it is hard to get it out from under the mattress or put it back when she is in bed. It takes some hard pulling. This might not be a problem for a toddler who weighs less and you can pick up.

Pros: Extra long length perfect for full-size bed; secure fit to bed so that child cannot be trapped nor can rail be removed; able to "hide" it when not in use. Cons: Directions somewhat difficult to read/understand - pictures vague, directions labeling didn't match all parts (ex. directions said attach parts 1 and 2 but parts were labeled 1a and 1b); pull-pins that secure rail when in use can be hard to pull out; if used with a bedskirt, the bedskirt gets pulled under (between mattresses) when storing rail. Because of the cons, I recommend this rail with hesitation. This is the 2nd one that I've purchased (the first one's at grandparents' house). I like it but it's not the "easiest" rail in the world to use. My 3-year old son feels safe/secure in his big boy bed, so that's what matters most. I can put up with the lack of ease.

We bought a new queen size, pillow-top bed to use with the rails when our grandson was ready for a big-boy bed. One thing we didn't realize when we purchased the bed, was that the new mattresses are very high. The bed rails only come up several inches on the sides, so we had to pad the rails with pillows. It's better than nothing, but not as safe as we'd like. Measure your mattress first. The construction is not the best, they feel cheaply made. When putting the rails down and tucking them under, you need two people, because they feel like they are going to bend. They are just an average purchase.

My elderly mother was practically bedridden. The hospice care nurses kept suggesting I bring in a hospital bed but there was no place to put one. I was thrilled to be able to find an extra-long bed railing (i.e. not necessarily for a child) that would neatly slide away under the mattress when I needed to get her up and that would also lock into place so she couldn't roll off the bed and hurt herself during the night. (I only got to use it for a few days before she passed away, hence the used it once per year rating.) I highly recommend this product.

I purchased this product and was amazed at how sturdy the construction of materials were. Instructions to assemble were easy to follow. The only negative thing I did notice is that if you have a deep mattress with a pillowtop, then the rail is not as high. Other than that I am satisfied with the bed rail.

This seems very sturdy. My son has not used it yet, but he has laid on the bed and rolled into it for me and it seems to hold him well. The only complaint is it is hard to pull the pins to hide away and it might not be so comfortable if an adult had to sleep on it. The bars under the mattress seem as if they would be very uncomfortable if you are not a kid. Also I thought the extra long one would be a great idea and I think it is a bit excessive. A regular one would be fine for a twin bed.

I am very happy with this purchase, however, I bought the extra long hide away along witht he regular sized hide away. They will not hide while using both together. The rails under the mattress have to stack ontop of each other. I don't care, I just leave them up all the time. Just a heads up.

I bought this because my 1yr old won't leave my bed. Since he going to be there I rather him be safe. Is really easy to put together. And it's really strong (I know this because my son would shake it like crazy! I wouldn't blame the item if it breaks!!! ). Really good for the price!

It was easy to put together. I LOVE how long it is. And so far my daughter seems to like it. I have only had it up for about a week, but so far we are loving it. And it seems to be helping us with the slow transition of my daughter from crib to twin bed.
