I waffled between giving it a 3 star and a 4 star review. Decided to go with 4 star because my issue with this bunk bed was not specifically an issue with the bed quality itself.
I feel should SEPARATE the bunk bed from the blue and cherry colored ones due to the beds NOT being the same product in their entirety. Both the blue and cherry colored bunk beds come with a straight ladder (box ladder is what they are called I believe). The bunk bed comes with a slanted ladder. Due to the way the reviews read it appears most people received bunk beds with straight ladders (box ladder style) and one would assume that all 3 were that style.
This is not the case and buyers should beware to not assume incorrectly (As I did). The one brings a slanted ladder! I ended up returning it for this reason / but prior to return I did inspect the parts and boxes and I must say the felt and appeared to be quality! Definitely looked to be worth the asking price and generally better sturdiness than comparable brands in this price range.
packaging was great. instructions were clear. Although not all items were labeled, they were grouped together logically that there was no need to guess which parts were the unlabeled ones. I put both beds together alone (unstacked) in about 4.5 hours because of numerous interruptions by my 6 4.5 year olds;
The bed is very sturdy and looks great in the kids room. The only problem that I have is that there is not very much room between the bottom and top bunk, making it impossible to sit up on the bottom bunk without bonking your head. Otherwise, its great! Arrived earlier than expected in perfect condition.
I bought this for my boys with the thought of having the ability to have either bunk beds or singles. The boys opted for singles and these still turned out nice. They are a nice color and the husband put them together with limited complaint so I take that as a positive. I didnt hear much cussing and fussing and it only took him about 3 hours. Nice set. We also bought the for our two girls and it is nice as well.
My wife and I have been in contact with manufacturer and still no resolve. The wrong leg/post was for the top bunk causing you not to be able to put the rail on the back side up.
I like this bed. It was easy to build but it is a little wobbly. I use it for my 7 yr old on top and 4 yr old on bottom. My boys love it. Its about 5 feet tall so its not too close to the ceiling.
We got all the pieces out to put it together and half the assembly parts were nowhere to be found.68 dowels missing!!!! Had to go buy our own dowels and cut themRidiculous for how much the bed cost that we wouldnt get all the parts it needed to be put together.
If I could give this product 0 stars I would. I ordered this bunk bed on Friday 2/14/14 with free prime customer 2/day shipping; my order arrived on the following Thursday, 2/20/14. When I got the delivery notice from UPS I took off of work to receive the package and get it setup for my boys before they got home from school.
1 / UPS did a door bell ditch they left the package on my door step rang the door bell and took off. It would have been nice to have them carry it into my front door at least because I had the drag this heavy package to the back of my house to my boys room.
2 / After cutting open the package and placing is piece in order to setup, I realized that something was missing. THE HEADBOARDS!!! yes thats right all 4 headboards were missing the main piece of the bunk beds that hold everything together was not included in the package and I was not a happy camper.
3 / The directions are a joke pictures only no written instructions and the boards are not labeled as the instructions showing you to connect A to Z; out of all the pieces included only 3 of them had stickers on them to say what piece it was.The rest you would have to play the guessing game.
After triple checking my package I confirmed that the headboards were not included so I placed a call to customer service at about 4pm. It took me explaining to the rep 4 times before she understood the problem that I was having and finally said that they would replace the item free of charge and I would receive the replacement bunkbeds by 2/25/14 (5 days more)!!!!!!
I was highly upset because I had already taken down my older sons bed and removed my younget sons toddler bed, so this rep expected me to go without beds for my boys for 5 days!!!!!! and I even explained that to her but she said she could do nothing more to get it to me sooner. So what could I do? NOTHING but accept that (at least in that moment)
My kids got home and saw the box for the beds and immediately started jumping for joy that they were going to have bunkbeds by the end of the night, imagine the looks on their faces when I told them that I had to send the beds back and wait 5 days until the new ones came; it was a horrific moment to dissappoint my kids. My husband came to me and suggested why dont you just find the beds somewhere else locally and lets get them the beds tonight because thats all the boys have been talking about all week.
Immediately my super mom powers kicked in and I got online and started checking and calling stores and I found one in stock the color I wanted at our local Kmart. I rushed over to the store and purchased the bunk beds, 2 matching dressers and a armoir for 300.00, The best deal ever!!! the bunk beds only cost 160. I dont know why I didnt do that to begin with.
My husband and I got the beds setup and even though we didnt finish until about 11:30 pm, we put our boys in their beds while they were sleeping (they feel asleep in our bed). When they woke up for school in the morning in their new beds, it was like a christmas morning!!!! Super Mom and Dad to the rescue.
I called and told them to cancel the replacement and issue me a refund!!! Hows that for resolution!!!!
Since only three of the many, many pieces to the beds were marked, I really had to pay attention to the location of holes drilled on each part to assure proper assembly. One headboard was fairly damaged during shipping. Not worth waiting on another to ship. Just check packaging for damage upon arrival.

Attractive, but not as sturdy as I might like
These beds are great for the price. Theyre a little wobbly, and they were hard to put together by myself, but my kids love them.
Great bed for the low cost
The bed is very sturdy and looks great in the kids room. The only problem that I have is that there is not very much room between the bottom and top bunk, making it impossible to sit up on the bottom bunk without bonking your head. Otherwise, its great! Arrived earlier than expected in perfect condition.
Bought for my two boys
I bought this for my boys with the thought of having the ability to have either bunk beds or singles. The boys opted for singles and these still turned out nice.

It Came with 1 wrong leg in box
My wife and I have been in contact with manufacturer and still no resolve. The wrong leg/post was for the top bunk causing you not to be able to put the rail on the back side up.
Easy to build
I like this bed. It was easy to build but it is a little wobbly. I use it for my 7 yr old on top and 4 yr old on bottom. My boys love it. Its about 5 feet tall so its not too close to the ceiling.
Not all the pieces Came!!!!!!

Decent cheap beds
Since only three of the many, many pieces to the beds were marked, I really had to pay attention to the location of holes drilled on each part to assure proper assembly. One headboard was fairly damaged during shipping. Not worth waiting on another to ship. Just check packaging for damage upon arrival.
