My 3 year old loved it. He spends more time in his room, he says that he is going to play in his slide. Its very sturdy. It took two people two hours to build it. Its an off white color. I used a 10 inch mattress and there is still plenty barrier so he wont fall off bed.
The design looks great and although not perfect I think it looks wonderful in my kids room. The assembly was straight forward but does take some time. Having the right tools will save a whole lot of time, as is with all furniture.
A few things to note:
1. There is a terrible paint smell. Some other reviews call it pine, but no this is paint smell. (Its the same kind of smell after I use spray paint.) The smell lingers for a while too so be prepared to air out multiple days. In other words you do not want to use this right away for your kid after you build it. Your kid will want to climb on it so if they do then at least make sure you have a window opened. It may be best to open the box and air out the materials for a few days before assembly.
2. The description does say the color is white washed. Look closely at the attached pictures, the paint layer is translucent when you look closer. They arent lying when saying its white washed but it really would have been better if they painted it full white with proper layers of paint and seal. I suspect the white washing process might just be the reason for the bad paint smell.
3. The chalkboard is not a chalkboard. It works with crayons but not with chalk. The board is glossy and chalk will not stay. Using crayons is fine but just know it doesnt erase as easily, you will have to wipe it clean using a solvent or cleaner to start fresh on the board. This is fine for us but just dont have the wrong expectations since the pictures can be misleading.
The product isnt perfect, but kids beds are expensive comparatively speaking. This is lower cost than equivalent beds but just make sure your expectations are aligned with the points I outlined above.
Almost perfect bed!
The materiels seem quality, it arrived packed well in a long, heavy box. The outside was beat up but the pieces were fine. The different screws and pieces were helpfully seperated out, and the instructions were easy to follow. Except! Watch out for pieces that look identical but have very small differences / twice we missed very tiny indications that were not clear in the instructions and made mistakes, thankfully they were easily fixed by drilling new holes on our own. You definitely need a power drill, and a better allen wrench than the one they provide would help, too. Assembled, its very sturdy and is really great, my four/year/old loves it. Plenty of room to play underneath. One complaint is that the top step doesnt have much room for your foot (its ok now but as she gets older and her feet grow they wont fit on the step), see photo. However, based on all the other bed designs I came across, these are a lot better than a lot of other step designs.
Overall definitely recommend!
Very surprised by this, typically online furniture is a crap shoot when I comes to quality. Dad approved product with easy assembly and sturdiness, my 200lb butt was able to lay on top with no cracking noises. 10/10
My 3 year old loves it! Was able to put together with my wife fairly easy. Would recommend have a set of T/handle Allen wrenches and a drill for screws to speed things up.
Very sturdy and great for the price! I was worried about buying because of some of the reviews, but Im happy I did! It is high enough off the ground to give a little extra space, but it is low enough for my 3 year old. I am also able to sleep comfortably on the twin bed with my daughter when she needs me, which is a huge plus! I love this bed!

My 3 year old loved it!!

Overall Good Product
I like that it is very sturdy. It was not very easy to assemble. You need two people to assemble. It did take about 4 hours to put it together.
Good for the Price / Good Design, But Paint Smell and Not a Chalkboard

Great bed! Easy to setup.

Great first big bed
My 4 year old loves his bed. Ive climbed in it and it feels pretty sturdy even for an adult.
Exceeded expections

Chalkboard isnt Normal. Doesnt allow for any chalk to show up.
