We needed a bunk for our cottage. It is in the same room as a queen bed, so we wanted to coordinate looks.
I didnt want it to overwhelm the room with our clipped ceilings.
AND I wanted to be able to make the bed with out having Cirque Du Soliel pulleys hoisting me up.
This low bunk does the trick. I centered it on the window wall rather than in a corner. So much easier to make a bunk bed.
This does not have as much space between the bunks as I would like. But its better than others. Even the 7 year old can not sit up straight in the bottom bunk.
But I used the 8+ in twin mattress we had from before. If I bought one, Id go with a 6 or possibly 5 in mattress for more head room. But its fine. It works for people with little ones / they wont get hurt if they roll out of bed.
ASSEMBLY: You need 2 people, and you need to look at the picture instructions VERY closely to make sure you have left vs right side, inside vs outside, etc.
If you do that, the holes line up perfectly.
We used the Allen wrench that came with the set. Thats all we needed.
It took us several hours, but it has a nice solid feel.
There are less expensive versions of low bunks. I wanted at least 30/36 in of headroom. And I wanted to be able to assemble it with the least amount of drama, trauma and swear words.
Its worth the extra money. Yes please!
Holes for assembly actually line up!
