Perfect for my girls! When looking for younger kid friendly bunks I knew I wanted low height ones in case the top sleeper was ever to fall and these did not disappoint! It is a very beautiful sturdy white bunk. Assembly took about 2 hours but was very easy. All of our pieces were in perfect shape. After reading reviews I was scared to purchase because of comments saying easy denting or not sturdy especially when it came to the top bunks railing but I had no such problems. My only complaint is it did take a couple days for a strong chemical type smell to go away and I was afraid I might have to return but by day 2 it was gone and now I have no complaints!!!
We are really happy with our purchase. It is extremely sturdy and of very good quality. The way they have the slats set up actually gave the bed (mattress) a stronger base. We still put a Bunkie board down to be on the safe side. Actually my husband put down 1/4 to 1/2 inch plywood and called it a Bunkie board.
On Assembly: 1. Each part has a letters printed on a sticker for each. They need to put a new ribbon in the printer because the O, Q, C, and the T, I, L all looked alike. So you need to look a little closer to make sure you have the right piece and match it to the picture.. You may not have this problem.
2. The hole that the "barrel nut" goes into needs to be cleaned out. It is left over saw dust but it makes the barrel nut sit at an angle. . We just ran a flat head screw driver around the inside of each hole and we were good.
3. If you use a straight Allen Wrench and put it in a drill, it goes a lot quicker (per my husband), Be careful not to strip the Allen head screws (per the wife).
Instruction manual says it takes 45 MINUTES to put together. Really??? Took us 3-5 hours from start to finish, Couldn't be happier with our purchase,
This bed arrived damaged, and without hardware. We had to wait over a week for new hardware and after we got it together most of the wood is damaged, bent, stained. Looks very cheap and it’s a total disappointment. Taking it apart and putting it back in the box to return would be more trouble than it’s worth.
We really like the beds. They are a great fit for our boys. However, the slats to support the mattress are too few with too wide of gaps. We added a sheet of plywood to provide more support for the mattresses.
Update almost three years later-
Added photos of the beds bunked. I love that these are lower than standard bunk beds as the bottom bed is on the floor. I feel exactly the same about them now as I did when I bought them. We’ll use these until they fall apart. Also, would recommend a bunkie board or something similar for comfort. Both could use it but definitely the top.
Original review-
This bed is exactly what would be expected of a bunk/two twin beds for the price. They look nice and serve their purpose with success. The wood is soft and easily dented. Assembly process was a breeze. It took about 2-3 hours to assemble. Instructions easy to follow. I love that these beds can be used separately or stacked for bunks. If you are able to afford a higher quality bed and looking for something more durable then I would expand your search. If you’re looking for two beds or a bunk on a tight budget then I would look no further.
You need 8ft clearance and bunkie boards. Otherwose, this thing is very very sturdy. Its easy to move in spite of it being so large.
PARTS BANGED UP UPON OPENING / WASTED TIME TRYING TO ASSEMBLE DESPITE THE DMAGED AS NEEDED THE BED FOR THE WEEKEND GUESTS ---AND THEN FOUND PARTS /SCREWS WERE MISSING. Now have to spend 2 hours disassemblinh the parts that were put together to get back into the 1 carton to return it by driving to ups drop off ....TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND FRUSTRATION. The seller should come pick this up the way it is
Lightweight wood, looks good, like that it’s easy to turn into two beds however half of the hardware was missing and one of the slate cane damaged. When the manufacturer was contacted they said they couldn’t ship the hardware until December!!! That’s 3 months away! Poorly run company. We can’t wait that long for only half the bunk to be assembled. They should have a quality control department that actually checks what’s going out to customers! Wouldn’t buy again.
