My daughter and granddaughter put this together in about 2 hours. They did a great job and experienced no issues. No scratches, enough screws and pieces. Very sturdy. My grandson loves it.
We ordered 2 of these beds. One of them was missing the instructions book and 2 pieces of the bed, the other was complete. Thankfully the pieces that were missing were insignificant to the structure of the bed and we were able to get good replacements from the local hardware store.
The color description was a bit misleading, we expected gray beds to show up but they were absolutely BLUE, we spent the time to paint them before assembly so we wouldn't have to deal with returns and finding replacements.
I bought this
Bunkbed for my 7 and 8 year old daughters. Perfect size, exert their were missing screws and a couple screws needed to be a lot longer. Ther boards for mattress needed holes to be drilled out still on a few. Their were a few chunks of wood
Missing from side of bunk from top. Not huge but noticable.
I purchased the Graphite version of this bunk bed and wanted to share my experiences, good and bad.
The negatives:
First, I've never purchased a product that has smelled this bad for so long. Perhaps other colors don't have this problem. I put this together three weeks ago, and my son's room still smells because of the bed. I wish it were warm enough to open the windows. Second, putting this together was no joy. I wouldn't say it's complicated, but it takes time (a lot of time, for me with kids helping/distracting, it was the better part of a day), patience, and most definitely two people for various steps of the process. Nearly all the parts go together with an Allen wrench that's included. Thanks to that little guy, my index fingers and thumbs hurt for three days. Third, I purchased 5" memory foam mattresses for both bunks. After spending 10 minutes in the full bed reading with my kids, I could feel the slats through the mattress. For children I doubt it's an issue. But as an adult, I could never sleep in this bed in it's current condition. You must either purchase a different mattress, or purchase and install a solid base or additional different slats.
The positives:
The bed is sturdy and well built. I don't have any concerns about my kids sleeping in this bunk bed. They have no issues getting in and out of the bed or with using the ladder. The bed looks great. The graphite is a nice color, and a welcome change if you are tired of furniture that is either white or espresso. For this price, I think the bunk bed is a great value.
Very sturdy, can use as bunks or separate
Bought this bunk bed for our 7 and 4-year-old boys. They love it, especially how large the full-size bunk is. The color is really more of a blueish gray than charcoal, but no complaints. So far it's all holding up very well. We have smallish bedrooms with short ceilings (9 feet), and a ceiling fan, so the bed height and size stayed within our restrictions. I do not recommend having a deep mattress for this bed. Our older son had a twin mattress that was 12 inches tall, and it would have been too tall and therefore unsafe for the top bunk. Instead, we bought two Linenspa mattresses based off recommendations from other purchasers, and they work great! Installation was easy enough. The instructions were clear and had number guides for all the hardware. One person can actually do most of the work except for one or two places. I'm a SAHM mom with a working spouse, and I managed to build it in a day mostly by myself.
My husband put this together and it took him 5+ hours but he did it himself! It is well made. You really need to pay close attention to the instructions as it is easy to accidentally reverse sides of the bed and then have to take it apart. My son adores it!
For the price, you can’t beat it. There are a few imperfections in the wood but they aren’t very noticeable unless you are really looking for them. It only takes one person to really assemble the bed but you will need a second person to help lift the twin on to the full. I bought this for a toddlers bedroom who had been begging my husband and I for bunk beds. His room is on the smaller side and this bed fits fine. The bed feels sturdy so far. I have slept on it with no problem and didn’t feel like I was going to fall off :). We went with the navy blue color which looks great in my sons nautical themed bedroom. We paired it up with a bright white dresser (looks great) since we had trouble finding a dresser in the exact color blue.
Also- if you plan on using a memory foam type of mattress (it is recommended that you use a spring mattress) definitely purchase a bunky board or put some type of plywood under the mattress to prevent it from forming around the bed boards.
Great bunk bed for smaller rooms that have no space for ladders on the side -- -I ordered 2 of these for 2 cottages -- they look great when assembled
It’s a good product but the shipping messed up on the location.
