Overall, we love this bunk bed. The ladder design is great, and there is ample clearance between the bunks for me to sit up on the bottom bunk with an 8 inch mattress (Though I am only 5'2.) I doubt it would support the 400lb per bed over time, as it claims, but it is still a very sturdy bed and can support 200lb per bed. The quality of the wood is above average, though we did still get small cracks in a few boards when tightening screws. The finish is nice, but I don't love all of the holes that show where the screws are inserted. I found the stickers they provided to cover them really strange. I think a plastic plug of some kind or even wooden plugs would be much nicer. We just opted to leave the holes showing, and I barely notice them most of the time now. The clearance under the the bottom bunk is also great! We have room for the kids' sleeping bags, off-season clothes, and a few other items that needed to be stored.
My husband and I bought this for our daughter/granddaughter. Had it assembled in less than 2 hours including opening 2 new memory foam mattresses and placing on slats to await full decompression. Bought it for guest room and wanted the versatility and underbed storage that this bed provided. Only complaint it that the directions are a bit confusing with only pictures and no written instructions; however, this does not take away from the quality of the bed. Overall, glad we chose this one!
Came without the assembly instructions and the instructions posted on the manufacturer's website are for if 90 percent of the bed was already pre-assembled! Also, the box it was shipped in was pretty beat up.
Update: I upgraded the review from one star to 3 based on bunk bed construction. Once assembled it is a nice looking sturdy set. It is relatively easy to assemble. The packaging needs changing. The package I received was missing instructions and a lot of the hardware. The package was damaged enough that it may have opened during shipping and these items may have fallen out. A few or a handful of the boards were dented or scratched. This is a heavy box. It probably should be split into two to three boxes to reduce damage during shipping.
This is our kids' first bunk bed and we all love it. It's sturdy, the perfect size, and the color is a great neutral. This would be a 5 star review had we not received this missing a pretty important piece.
We wanted a bunk bed for our daughters (5 and 8) and didn't want to pay $1000 from Pottery Barn, etc. This one went together fairly easy over an afternoon. You assemble each bed separately then put them together. We've had it for 3 months and it has held up well. You can keep the beds separate, and you can choose which side to mount the ladder. The paint was well done (though smelly, see below). Box was marked Made in Vietnam. We used two inexpensive twin memory foam mattresses from (8 thick) and they've been a great complement to this bed.
Cons:
1. The paint smells really bad when you first open it and assemble it. We spent a couple of weeks with windows open and fan on to get rid of the smell. I wasn't thrilled about that for a kids' product but it does eventually go away. Recommend airing for 3 weeks before using if possible.
2. There are no covers for the screw holes. They're just deep open holes. Looks kind of bad. Even stickers would have been nice.
The bed looks great after getting it assembled. The process of getting to that point is intense. The directions only show diagrams, and minimal at that. There are no written, step by step instructions. We also had to get a second bed delivered, as the first was open and missing hardware.
My kids LOVE their new solid wood bunk bed!!! We received it very quickly, packed securely in one box with all the hardware and instructions included. Assembly was very straight forward and it didn't take us long at all, which was great because the kids couldn't wait to try it out!
I am so impressed with the overall quality. The bed is beautiful and looks great in their room! I love all the extra details like the cutouts on top of the ladder which make it easier for my youngest daughter to climb up and the ridges on the ladder steps to keep from slipping. It's also great that all of the hardware is hidden after assembly, so there aren't those unsightly nuts and bolts taking away from the white color. I love the fact that the beds are secured together with extra wooden pieces, which gives the whole set up a really solid feel. The extra support bar gives me the peace of mind that I can climb up in bed with my little ones to read their bedtime stories and I know that it can easily carry the weight. Not only does it look great, but I can sleep well knowing that my kids are in a safe bed.
Another feature I really like is that this bunk bed can easily be turned into two twin beds. As my kids grow, this gives them even more options with the set up of their room. With the solid wood construction and the versatility, I know that they will be using these beds for years to come. I think it's wonderful that not only were there different color and style options, but there are customizations you can get as well! I love that you can add drawers to the bottom, which is perfect for saving space. My kids really like that there is a pull out trundle option, which they have asked me to order for sleepovers.
This bunk bed exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Now my kids are actually excited for bed time! I would definitely recommend

Great quality solid bed
Great quality solid bed. The only problem is steps are a bit far apart for a kid to climb up.
Easy assembly and clear instructions
Easy assembly and clear instructions, would be 5 stars but product uses stickers to cover the assembly holes, plastic caps would be preferred.

Great bed but missing a piece

Directions are terrible

Nice product but need replacement part
I love the product but it arrived cracked. I need a replacement front piece!!
