Gorgeous wood, great bed for our needs - but make sure all hardware is sent to you!
High quality solid wood bed, with a gorgeous finish. Went together very quickly - except for the fact that 8 wooden dowel pegs DID NOT come with it, and they were needed to put the side rails on the top bunk. We were able to find a substitute at a nearby hardware store, but tack on 45 minutes for the shopping trip plus extra money for the parts... you can see why only 4 stars.
Plus, although the majority of the bed is extremely sturdy, fastened with bolts, etc., the side rails for the top bunk are only connected with wooden pegs, and the only thing holding the headboards/footboard together along the sides are 4 bolts (one on each side, 2 top, 2 bottom). Not sure how solid the construction would be if you had these each as standalone beds (which it is advertised you can do), as I would think with constant getting in/out of bed there would be some rocking that would shift the head/footboard.
All-in-all a fine purchase for our needs, especially placed in the corner of the room, and where others bunks we have purchased (2) are definitely sturdier/have more bolts for strength, this one has way better wood/finish. Also thoughtful that they provide wood veneer stickers to cover all bolt holes, if the look of the open holes/hardware bothers you (we're trying them out for now).
