We ordered these for our lake house. ...I mean, how can you be at a cabin and not have bunk beds for kids and grandkids?! I looked everywhere and researched everything. I couldnt possibly pay thousands of dollars for good quality beds. And everything else had these ugly fake/brass/looking fasteners that stood out like a sore thumb. ...Enter . These are great. The blue is just as you see in the picture. And the fasteners... yup... they are blue too. These beds are sturdy and seem to be holding up to our 3 boys just fine.
Its really nice and I love the color. The picture gives the illusion that the loft is taller than it is due to the slant in the ceiling. Overall a good buy bust dont expect a lot of space underneath without having to put it on risers.
The instructions were poor and led to my friend and I having to redo a couple steps. Actually I think we got one wrong/mislabeled piece as well but it made a small cosmetic difference and I didnt want to wait for a replacement.
The smell isnt as strong as I feared from these comments. Certainly didnt give anybody a headache but it does smell like paint a little bit. Someone said it was composite instead of solid but I can literally see the wood grain (subtly) under the paint. I started to worry some of you were getting knock offs by how much the reviews varied, so I made sure to order directly from the seller and Im happy I did.
I wish the bed was taller but really only Pottery Barn sold taller beds. With a normal ten inch mattress at the bottom bunk, an adult cannot sit under the top bunk. I didnt want to replace the mattress I already have but if youre buying new mattresses I think a little thinner would be better. We bought a tuft and needle nod 8 mattress for the top bunk. That works pretty well and also comes in 6 which would give you more head clearance on the bottom. This is another plus to a twin over full vs full over full: parent can still sit comfortably on the edge of the bed to tuck in the littles.
As many reviews have said, the bed slats are way too far apart. For the bottom I put in the slats from the bed I replaced, but I will need a bunky board or more slats for the top bunk. While it may be supportive enough as is.. its hard to make the bed without sheets etc hanging down over the bottom bunk as three isnt a good place to tuck them in with only sparsely spaced slats.
All in all I am satisfied with my purchase. The price was reasonable, delivery was quick, and the assembly is not too hard with a friend. My kids are so happy and, assuming it stays intact, they will get many years of use out of the beds. Bonus that I can theoretically separate it into two beds at the end, which is just a matter of lifting the top bunk off and putting it down.
Anyway, I hope this helps if youre on the fence.
I did a ton of research when purchasing a bunk bed and ended up with this one for my 7 and 2 year old boys. I chose this one because of the high weight capacity on the top bunk and the height of the top bunk (we can sit on the bottom bunk with plenty of head clearance). We also liked that we could get a separate standalone twin bed frame from the same company that matched for when our youngest son moves into the room. The bed has held up well over the past year. Its definitely been jumped and climbed on by the boys and its been fine. It does wobble a little more than I like and the ladder is a challenge for an adult to climb up, which is why I gave 4 stars. Overall Im still happy with this purchase. My father is a very experienced woodworker and he complimented the beds construction after he put it together. I think this is the best bunk bed option at this price point.
The footboard was improperly assembled in the factory and as a result, we are unable to connect the support beam that runs from the head to the foot of the bed. I need to find the time to contact the manufacturer to request a replacement footboard. It seems to support the weight of a child without the support beam but would not feel comfortable having an adult sleep in the bed. Overall, the price was good and assembly would have been easy otherwise, but definitely not worth the added hassle.
Beds support boards are too spaced out. With 8 in mattress my daughter steps in the bed and her and the mattress go through the space of the boards. Had to reinforce mattress support with flat panels from other previous furniture pieces to feel comfortable with my 3yr old. (Small 3yr old)

Still happy after a year of use

perfect for my twins
My kids are excited about it. My husband and I used half day for assembling, not difficult.
So cute
Very impressed with this bed! Easy to out together. Arrived in one long box! Easy to our together! My 6yr old loves it!!!!!
Factory error. Impossible to assemble.
The footboard was improperly assembled in the factory and as a result, we are unable to connect the support beam that runs from the head to the foot of the bed. I need to find the time to contact the manufacturer to request a replacement footboard.

Needs more mattress support
Beds support boards are too spaced out. With 8 in mattress my daughter steps in the bed and her and the mattress go through the space of the boards. Had to reinforce mattress support with flat panels from other previous furniture pieces to feel comfortable with my 3yr old. (Small 3yr old)
Great toddler bed
4 year old helped assemble, fun project together. Though the slats were not easy. Great guest bed for company, too
