Good looking and fun product, but some design flaws that could result in a broken bed
I like this bed, its the perfect height for my 7 year old and its fairly easy to assemble, but Im not sure that its sturdy enough. We all know as moms that crawling up on a bunk bed to put on a sheet isnt fun, but its even worse when the stairs to walk up are very fragile, feels like they could break from slight pressure, and the same could be said for the guard rail on the bed. I know the guard rail is there to keep the child from rolling out of bed, but a young child is naturally going to want to hang from that piece like a jungle gym, thats what kids do. He mostly uses it to pull him self up on the bed from the slide part. I keep telling him to be extremely gentle on it because it has two small pieces of wood on either side holding it on that could snap off with minimal roughhousing. I dont like that about this product especially seeing as they dont have replacement pieces. Its a bit sketchy. When I imagine the old bunk beds I had as a kid, they were tough thick sturdy made and this really does not compare to that. I dont regret buying it, because he loves it, but there are pretty significant design flaws especially if you have very active children.
