This bed was great. My son loves it and it was easy to put together. I put it together by myself (which I dont recommend if it can be avoided) but even then it was relatively easy and could have been knocked out exponentially quicker with another person.
The black is super flat and matte black. Its not a stain. Its more like spray painted on. You cant see any texture or wood grain, and it doesnt look that good. A dark black stain that showed a little wood grain would have been nicer. Returned it and went for the honey. I dont lobe the honey either but it will do. Its not like in the images. Its more orangey. This is for my boys room and orange stain wouldnt have been my first choice, I wanted it more muted yellow brown like in the picture. But I couldnt find any other bed that was as good for the price and the convertible bunk bed option so “honey” will do.
My first impression: the packaging was fantastic, all of the pieces were all well labeled.
The edges and surface finish are top notch, wood itself is pretty damn good.
I did the installation on my own and I was taking my sweet time, it took me over 2 hours. I assembled a mail order swing set before, by comparison this is pretty easy and straight forward. Power tool, 5/32" hex head, and #2 Philips head are all you need.
Some of the pilot holes were not perfectly aligned, so that took some elbow grease and patience to get the boards line up and fasteners to start. My only complaint was, the manufacturer could have make the main frame boards/rails which tie the front/aft headboard to be symmetrical instead of asymmetrical. The instruction had a little mix up and I failed to recognize 1 frame leg and 1 main rail has to be reserve for the ladder side. They could have make the boards symmetrical and be ambidextrous, just provide matching color plugs to plug the extra holes, I wouldnt even be mad. But by the time I got everything tighten up and tried install the ladder on the last step, then realized my mistake; I was pretty annoyed and I have to bust out the drill bit to match drill 2 bottom holes to tie down the ladder.
Last complaint is the upper bunk and the lower bed are only aligned by wooden dowels without any restraint, I foresee the boys being rough and rock and tilt the upper/lower halves without some real brackets to tie them together.
Overall, it is a decent project/product
For the price point this bunk bed is an excellent buy. Its just good enough in every area. Its sturdy enough, its good looking enough and the instructions are good enough. Nothing is outstanding about this bed. The finish is good and while there were a few very minor scrapes I would consider the quality control to be very good. There were no missing parts and thankfully no missing hardware. My grandsons love it and we are overall very happy with the purchase. For just under $300 I recommend this bed. Dont expect high end, think more solid and functional.
It took about about 6.5 hours to put the bed together.
Had a couple small marks on it from shipping but super sturdy would give it five stars but didnt come with instructions so I had to put it together by the picture on the Internet wasnt too bad though

Great bed for our littles. So far concerns about broken slats are unfounded.
Careful on the longer boards, had three split at the ends. Wayfair is willing to replace, just have to figure the connections.
Great bunk bed
I was a little nervous about buying a bunk bed on but its fantastic. Its sturdy, was really easy to put together, and its beautiful to boot.
Great smooth finish, good fits, have room for improvement

Assembly instructions need more clarification.
We liked the looks. It was difficult to assemble. We use it for our grand childrens visit.
