Looks great, assembled in an evening (took the time to organize everything beforehand and it was stress free). One able bodied engineer husband with a very pregnant wife helping at a few key moments. We did purchase some thin plywood for the top bunk, we felt the memory foam mattress we put on top would be shredded by the rough slats, or small toys would fall through the little edge. Added some pipe insulation on the bottom bunk to prevent the bottom bunk resident from bonking their head on the wood of the top bunk. Of note, it took about a month for the paint to off/gas. Im the only one who noticed/was sensitive to this, Im pretty picky and nauseated by everything though. Neither kid needed to sleep in the room right away, so we just opened windows and kept fans on to assist with the process and didnt have anyone sleeping in there. Cant smell it now. It feels as sturdy as the furniture store models, for a fraction of the cost. My husband (190) has slept on the bottom bunk without issue. Ive been on the top bunk, but wouldnt really recommend adults climbing the ladder, its held together Ikea style and Im sure my husbands weight would crack it. Great value for the price. None of our pieces were cracked, all items needed included. Dont get me wrong / this isnt an heirloom piece, but we werent looking for something to last more than 10 years anyways Needs better support
Cost effective solution for kids
