The neg: many scratches in several different spots. I took pic of one. I wont return primarily because I believe it was from shipping; therefore, it would occur again. We got the black and they arent that noticeable.
FYI: it is unbelievably heavy in the box!!!!
The pos: easy instructions, looks great, 8yr old girl LOVES it!! Excuse mess in pic-taking down wallpaper.
Have had this for a while now. My 10 year old wanted it instead of the bunkbed we had for years. Fits two small futon chairs under it. We had read the reviews about the railing hurting feet going up and down.... so I had gone to the hardware store and purchased pipe covering stuff with the preslit in it (is it pipe insulation maybe?) anyway ended up cutting it to size for each railing and then zip tying it at the edges so plenty of room for his feet to go up and down. Feels very sturdy - we did not attach to the wall. He weighs about 110 and I weigh 140ish and it held fine with no worries. Its kinda a pain to change sheets every day if you do that... but he changes them (something that I required before the investment - made him climb up and change the top bunk sheets as practice). I would recommend, and so would he!
My kid loves it but it takes up most the room. A twin must be whats shown in the picture. Its very close to the ceiling, so it wont be good for a tall person.
3.5 stars. Love the simple design. But it took forever to build. Another thing I am not satisfied with are the circular steps for the ladder. It hurts using bare feet to get to the top bunk. Its fine for my 40-pound 5-year-old but my older child refuses to go on top because of the pain. Flat steps would be ideal. I chose this bunk bed because I like that the ladder is connected to the bottom bunk and doesnt rest on the floor.
Soooo many pieces to put together, but the end result is a fantastic bunk bed! Sturdy, neat and the metal doesnt squeak. The plastic pieces were a pain, but everything else was fairly simple. Took me about 2 hours to unbox and put together.
East to assemble. Lot closer to a standard ceiling than I would have thought looking at the picture and due to the railing height I have to buy a thin mattress for the railing to be effective.

Pack a lunch
Pack a lunch when putting this bed together..... but 5 stars when its all done
Watch your ceiling height!
VERY difficult to put together... a million little parts. HUGE piece once assembled. Unless you have very high ceilings, I would NOT recommend.
