We put this bunk bed together yesterday for our kids and they are loving it! Its sturdy and relatively easy to put together - some parts needed two people but for the most part my husband was able to complete it on his own in a few hours. However, there is a metal bar that runs beneath the top bunk for stability and it is totally unsafe. We bought a pool noodle and covered the bar and the problem was solved, but Im surprised no one else mentioned this serious design flaw - the metal bar is not smooth and round and could easily cause a cut (as it did!) on a child getting up in the middle of the night and is still a little disoriented and not watching his head. I cant give this bed 5 stars because that bar is just not safe, but for the price this was an easy solution to make the bed safe.
Assembling any furniture is not easy. The bottom bunk is small, so we have our toddler there, so she doesnt have to climb or get hurt. I can sit up right under there. Top is y older daughter. It is very sturdy, and no toys or junk can go underneath it. Its a pian getting sheets on the bottom but thats because our mattress is a little thick and Im 8 months pregnant.
Easy assembly, it took me and my friend 2 hours to assemble. Make sure that when your assembling you have the right parts in the exact spot bc ladder placement. We accidentally switched the two bottom side rails and had to quickly switch them around once we noticed.
As others have noted this product does have an awful smell that lingers, weve had this product set up for 3 days and i can still smell it upon entering the room even w the windows open.
After assembly I got on the top bunk to do a safety test to make sure it was sturdy before my kids used it. Although it did hold me just fine while lying down ( 170lbs) , when I got on the bed the pressure from me mounting the bed in a kneeling position caused the slat underneath me to make some sketchy cracking noise. As others have noted I added an extra set of slats to the top bunk. I had them from our old bed, but if your buying this I suggest ordering an extra set of slats and doubling up top.
Lastly, the side rails of the bed have weirdly sharp edges. The entire bed actually had sharp edges. I wish they were more rounded edges on the wood pieces.
My 4 y/o can get up using the awkward ladder just fine, and I love that I can kiss her goodnight on the on the top bunk very easily without having to climb it
Love this bed! My toddler was so excited! Only reason I say 4 and not 5 stars is the top step to the ladder is a little tricky for kid since its so close to bed itself. Super sturdy.
Took me and my boyfriend about 2.5 hours to put together (we were taking our time, and also skipped a page on accident at one point and had to redo some things lol) but it was relatively easy to put together. Feels sturdy and looks great. We did wish that the screws had been seperated and labeled, would have made for an easier assembly but that is only a small gripe.
Would have given it a 5 star but for some reason one of the screws didnt went all the way in where it was supposed to go. Over all is great I think, building instructions where easy to follow.
Delivered on time. Very heavy box which translate to safer bed in my mind. Instructions are clear, took me 3.5 hours to put together with two additional elementary school age helpers. Too bad the quality of the product is not as expected. The dowels came in different width making them super loose or super tight in different spots. Some pieces are drilled at weird angles and some pieces are scratched already when we first open the box. I thought it was a good deal when I bought it but now its just meh.

SUPERB BUILD QUALITY!
Takes awhile to assemble but wow is it sturdy and top end material. The finish is flawless, directions were accurate and my kids love it.
Pretty good overall 3.5 stars out of 5

Awesome loft bed

Nice bed
Nice beds. Look good and feel sturdy.
Strong material
Would have given it a 5 star but for some reason one of the screws didnt went all the way in where it was supposed to go. Over all is great I think, building instructions where easy to follow.
