Great design, low longevity, confusing instructions
He has a Jet engine mechanic and it still took me 3 days to put this together. I was by myself and the instructions are limited, but it was the total lack of labeling on the ACTUAL PIECES that made this more challenging than it should have been. Its also A LOT of work and with arounds like using props and doing different things with both hands (and a foot, and a nose, at times LOL) for one person. But just like eating an elephant (what a weird phrase) take it one bite at a time, and it CAN be done. Its just more frustrating than it needs to be. Manufacturer: please label the boards and build purses and solve a lot of the headaches of trying to puzzle this out.
The screws to the chest of drawer knobs totally stripped out the wood and its only been put together for 3 weeks, but thats an easy enough fix, and the desk barely comes out from the bed and chest enough to fit a very small cheap desk chair in the knee space much less the kids legs, but it works for now. A few pieces missing but I have lots of hardware in stock in my garage so we made due just fine.
All that said, we really like the size, all in one functionality and how it makes the most of a small room to keep more are clear for play and recording his videos, so we are enjoying it. A lot of it seems like the usual build it yourself Crap materials with lower longevity (I doubt this will make it into 2030, or part two kids worth before falling apart) but it is really great right now and I would have spent at least as much getting him ask the things separately that it offers all in one: bed frame with storage, small chest of drawers, working desk and small bookshelf (one on the desk and on the end of the bed makes one small stand/alone one IMO), Abs this takes up so much less room , so I consider this worth the money, just dont expect it to last forever like fine furniture made of real solid wood. This is low/level IKEA our Walmart quality. Hope to improve in the future
