My daughter and I stayed at a NYC hotel that featured the full AG package, but I did not feel the value of that package was worth the cost. I did inquire about purchasing the bed separately and the concierge couldn't have been nicer about it. The bed cost $28 plus tax. I admit I had second thoughts about the price, because it is after all just a bunch of foam, cotton, and satin. But my daughter loves this thing so much. She actually keeps it in her bed beside her pillow so her doll can sleep on it, which works out well since it is so soft. So yay for play, er, sleep value.
When extended, the doll has about an half inch of foot room at the end of the bed. The body of the bed is a soft velour-like material. The fuchsia colors are all satin. My one complaint about the piece is that because the headboard is just foam, it leans back after a while. That's rather a nuisance if you want to use this as a chair, because the doll doesn't have anything sturdy to sit against. I'm not sure how well it really works as a chair any way though, because it is quite thick when all folded up. But it would have been nice to have more reinforcement for the head board; even a sturdier foam would have worked.
Still, it's a pretty piece and it is a nice souvenir of a special mother-daughter trip. Grade B+ for price and head board.
