Our 3 yr olds loves this bed! Not difficult to assemble and has held up very well. Parenting Hack...we bought a $9 cutting board (18 x 10) to slip in front of the the slide at night. UPDATE : After about a year and a half, bed became squeaky at joints; and as my little guy tossed and turned at night, it began to wake him up...thereby waking us up in the middle of the night. It was then that we moved to replace his bed.
The bed is good, the construction is sturdy, the product in general is good, the reason I give it 3 stars is because it is full of dangerous edges and metal parts. When I bought it, I did it believing the slide was made out of plastic, but it is all metal, with 4 metal bars underneath it, these bars (and the sides of the bed too) are squared and are extremely pointy. The very first day I assembled it and my 4yo started playing with it, he suffered an injury cutting his head open with a lot of blood in the back of his head. So, now I need to figure out a way to child-proof this thing (that's supposed to be for children). At least, it should come with round edges.
** EDIT ** - If you are planning on buying this bed, also consider buying something like this (this one is the one I purchased)
This bed is amazing for the price. This slide is made out of metal so it’s fast. It’s strong and durable. The slide cannot be moved to the other side if you’re wondering unless you do your own drilling. I bought 2 and my boys love it and they’re 3 and 4. We bought 6 inch deep memory foam mattresses to go with them. My kiddos literally want to be in their room now just playing. They look so happy too. Watch my vid for the configuration and fun being had. You have to get this bed for your kids. They will love you forever. Everyone I’ve shown loves it too.
due to the price of this bed I wasn't expecting much from it.
It's sturdy, cute & the slide is "fast", per my daughter.
It's a great bed & we like it a lot!!
Update! We've had this bed for nearly 8 months now. This bed is still in great condition considering my child plays on it often!
I see that the price is cheaper than when I paid for it! Which makes me sad! But at the same time... this bed was totally worth the buy!!!
If you don't want to spend a ton of money on bed but you need something durable and awesome... this is the bed for you!!!
Update again.. there's a lot of questions about the slide and the durability of the bed.
We've had this bed over a year now, and I assure you that this bed is wonderful.
The slide/bed holds 180+ pounds. The slide isn't incredibly long but it's wonderful for children 4-8. My daughter is going on 8 and loves it still.
Seriously, for the price... you can't beat it.
Update again!
We recently took the slide off to make more room. Keep in mind that the slide helps with the stability of the bed. However.. the bed is still plenty stable without it. She’s not had it on her bed for about 6 months how, with no issues. We’ve tried to get her a new bed... but she still LOVES this bed.
You may worry about it looking “cheap” but we get comments on how awesome it looks all the time.
This bed is too cute! It took a few hours (3 maybe) to put together and it was quite heavy! Fits great in my daughters room. Love that it is a smaller bunk bed. We put a twin sized mattress on the top bunk and also have one tucked in the bottom. They both fit great. I was a little worried when I read the reviews on if a twin bed in the bottom would fit so if anyone else on here is wondering as well it fits great (My daughters are 4 and 2) Only con to this bed is the slide is metal and can be quite loud if your kids think it is funny to kick there feet on it haha! I also read a lot of people worrying if the slide was too short. It is the perfect length for my 2 and 4 year old actually longer than I expected it to be.
Was pretty much everything that I expected from the product reviews I read on here before buying. The bed was very easy to put together, took me about 90 minutes to assemble. The corners were not sharp and the welds were very clean. I was very surprised at how heavy duty the slide was. It seems like the slide weighs almost as much as the bed does as the slide is entirely metal! The bed does feel a little wobbly, but once you get the mattress on it, it isn't as bad.
I ended up switching the Slide and Ladder because it was a better configuration in our bedroom. This did require some drilling and longer screws, but it can be done! I must say though, I don't know why they couldn't just do that before it leaves the factory as it would be much easier for them to do that as it would be for the majority of people buying it.
Overall, it is a good bed for the price. My kid loves sliding down the slide and playing underneath.
My kids lovvveeee this bed! The slide is quite loud as they stomp down it or race cars. But I don't put noise restrictions on in their bedroom. If you live in a apartment and are afraid of noise this may not be the bed for you. Also it took a looonnnggg time to put together. Not something your going to want to take apart. It's for sure a two-person & 2hr job to build. I thought it was a little higher form the photo, but they still like making forts with it.
Cool in theory...but corners are very sharp, we had to put pipe insulation around the corners to protect from sharp edges. Is very squeaky after 1.25 years of use with 4 year old. The slide is great quality. The novelty has worn off though. Wish the bed was higher so kids would play more underneath. Is pretty low, too low for a book shelf and reading nook which I had planned to do.
Wish I didn't buy it to be honest. Go for a bunk bed with 2 beds!
I LOVE this. It needs a thinner than normal mattress which I've ordered today which is fine I suspected as much. It doesn't squeak and the fact that it's all metal doesn't really bug me like it seems to bug other people. I can't wait to get the curtains for it!
Their was a few screws that I had to force with my impact that will be stripped if I ever have to take apart but they were in the slide and not part of attaching to bed so should not be a problem. When you are whining a kid nice to have a cool bed of their own to go to lol and get the 5 inch mattress I am 180 lbs and don't feel the bars and nice for the guards to heve a little extra protection and I let the kids jump on it so I taped on some.pool noodles to the top of the gaurd no one wants stitches.
Kid loves it so much, willing to start sleeping by himself because of the bed. Good quality in general and very stable. Nicely made. Recommended!
