Great Space Saving Solution For Little Kids/Terrible Shipping Experience
I was on the hunt for a bunk bed for my four year old and my one, almost two, year old. Due to their small room, we knew we really needed a bunk bed but I was nervous about the height of regular ones as this is my toddlers first bed. I honestly feel like this was a great (and maybe the only) solution! My four year old loves sleeping on the top and once we transition my toddler, he will only be a few inches off the ground. It looks really cute and fits great in their small room.
It feels pretty sturdy and I liked that it was all wood. Ive climbed up with my daughter (Im 122 lbs for reference) and felt comfortable and secure. The weakest part seems to be the wood piece that runs along the top ladder side so weve told my daughter not to hang on it or use it to help her climb up. May be a way to easily reinforce that piece. Time will tell how it holds up!
It did have a mild paint smell when it arrived, but I would expect that of anything painted. Its airing out nicely.
There isnt a ton of head clearance on the bottom so we are having to teach my son to be aware of that. But thats the price of having it be lower! We bought a six inch mattress for the bottom (the Costco Juniper mattress which someone else recommended on here), and were using my daughters 10 inch on top. Because shes not a roller, I feel ok with that, but if I was purchasing a new one I wouldve went with a 6 or 8 inch for the top as well. Fits regular twin mattresses.
On the shipping experience.it was awful and we actually had to send it back and reorder the same bunk bed through the and site. The box from came looking like a shark attacked it. Driver left it in the driveway where I couldnt get it into the house, so I was left with a box that was open on one end, had multiple holes and was stuck outside until my husband got home. We opened it up to find multiple dents on various bunk bed pieces that were significant enough we needed to return it. Process was pretty smooth, though it was hard coordinating pick/up. All that said, Im a little bit skeptical of ordering big furniture now via .
Minus the negative shipping experience, this is a great space saving solution that works for little ones and is fun for them. If it holds up well, Ill be happy!
