A SOLID WOOD piece of furniture! / Extremely unusual for a DIY, RTA piece of furniture.
A SOLID WOOD piece of furniture! / Extremely unusual for a DIY, RTA piece of furniture. The railings, headboard, and footboard are plywood, and the slats are solid pine. The quality is impressive for the price. All of the pieces and parts were present and aligned perfectly. The assembly instructions are adequate. You should probably use a separate piece of thin plywood, luan, or very heavy cardboard (i.e., the beds packaging material) over the slats to avoid damaging the mattresses. Probably mandatory with foam mattresses.
Helpful hints:
You will need a power drill/driver (ideally with an adjustable torque clutch) and another set of hands.
Be sure not to over tighten the wood screws, although the bolts and nuts require a bit more torque.
Carefully orient the headboards and footboards during assembly so that the upper and lower bunks align and adjoin.
Dry/fit the headboards and footboards flat on the floor before tightening fasteners.
Overall, I was very surprised by the high quality of this RTA bunk bed.
