I purchased this bunk bed back in February and after reading the other reviews, figured it would be ok for the price. Well after about 7 months of use by my two daughters, I could see visible stress cracks all over the beds. The wood is of such low quality, that I started to worry about their safety. My girls are very mellow and I never once caught them jumping our rough housing on these, so I was a little shocked to see them degrade so quickly. As of today, I now have two beds that are next to each other. I am going to replace them with a high quality bunk bed in the next few months. Maybe others received better quality wood then I did, but I wouldnt recommend risking your childs safety with these.
Other points of concern....
1. paint is crap and flakes off
2. assembly isnt for those that cant read directions and spend the time doing it correctly
3. slats are very rough on both the top and bottom. So the child in the bottom bunk has a good chance to get slivers from it. My daughter did, so I sanded them smooth.
4. holes not aligned well. I had a few pieces that had holes that were not aligned well and it required a few modifications to correctly assemble.
Poor quality wood.
