I really like this bed and am super pleased with the quality at this price. Unfortunately one of the the bed frame legs was missing from my package, so I cannot fully assemble it yet. I have emailed the Max and Lilly customer support and will update with outcome/final thoughts after that is sorted out
Upon putting together the bed everything looked perfect. It was sturdy and easy to put together and my daughter was so excited! But after the third time of her sobbing that she hurt her tailbone at the end of the slide me and my husband tried to figure out how to fix that. I saw other people post comments about the end of the slide but figured it wouldnt be that bad… It was pretty bad and she got pretty hurt. Anyways, to fix it we just flipped the bottom piece of the slide upside down and set a pillow at the end. Now she is obsessed and its perfect! I attached a few pictures for an example of what we did!
Toddler loves it! I was able to fit a soft queen mattress under for him to start sleeping on until he is old enough for the top bunk but during the day he loves using the slide, the steps and goes on the top bunk to read. Easy to assemble! I did it myself in two hours- it helps to identify and lay all screws out first. Overall very pleased with the bed and how unique it is. It does have a strong chemical smell- paint and wood? so I ran a purifier for a few days before letting my child sleep there.
Love this bed and so does my 5 year old. It took about 2 hours to put together, not rushing. If you go slow and actually read the directions then you wont have a big forced hole in the back of the bed like a lot of these stupid reviews. Glad I decided to just go with it because its perfect minus one little piece at the very end it was kinda shredding but it was so small and not noticeable now so whooo cares!! Very nice bed yippeee!
I assembled this in about 4 hours by myself but I was also watching Netflix…so it probably should have taken less time. The height is great and my 5 year old loves his new bed. Its a little wobbly if you give it a jolt…I might end up attaching some crossbars across the legs. Otherwise, great bed, Ive even slept in it with my son when he was sick and it didnt collapse!
I had a few assembly hang ups, so Ill try to help you out in case you face the same issues.
On page 8, you need to attach piece 10 (the side safety bars) to the bed using wooden dowels. This proved to be impossible if you dont loosen the headboard piece first. After I loosened all of those screws from the headboard, then I could easily attach the 10 pieces and then retighten the screws to the headboard.
Page 11, you need to roll out and attach the mattress support. You need to line the holes up PERFECTLY. My suggestion is to very loosely screw in all the screws before tightening them. Even then, it was tough so I dont know if the screw holes were a little off, or if I was. Either way, this was frustrating.
The rest of the assembly was pretty easy.
It would have been MUCH easier with two people, but I dont need no man! Also, after the fact, I see the website suggests power tools. Normally DIY furniture discourages power tools because you may over tighten or strip the screws. I would have loved to use power tools, so if you have them, definitely use them.
I love this bed so much and so does my daughter. She has wanted a loft bed with a slide for a while, so we splurged for her bday. For reference, she is 8. The box came and was very well wrapped in protective materials. You can tell this bed is very well made and is definitely real wood. I did not want to buy something made with pressed wood when looking for a bed for my daughter. I had another person build this with me and it does take some time to put together, but that is to be expected. I am really happy with this purchase!!!
We ended up getting some bad screws. They sent us new ones very quickly. Happy with that. However the slide is so steep it sends kids crashing to the floor (its painful) so that dont get used much. So far like the rest of it. Seems sturdy
The box came completely beaten so I was definitely skeptical at first. The packaging was outstanding not a single dent or break from shipping however I notice a few boreds had been altered poorly and painted over. Everything went together as it should no pieces missing. Overall with 2 people it took us about 2-3 hours to complete. I would probably recommend using the bigger screws for the latter and slide though, the latter ended up breaking off the bed where it was screwed in during moving the bed a foot over to the wall but its still fully functional and all parts are still fully secure and sturdy. For the money I paid I am fully satisfied and it exceeded my expectations and I would recommend this bed for any age kid. My son is 4 and absolutely loves it!
