Like everyone said, annoying assembly- super high top bunk
Giving it 4 stars because it's a butt to put together. I started doing it and thought it was rather simple, until I realized that I had to pay a lot more attention to how the pieces went in. You have to visualize how it will face and place a hole a certain way. :-/ instead of the instructions just pointing out how it should go. My fault. My husband took over- now he is mad and says not to order from this company again because the slats on the full bed are terrible to get in. Some are a little crooked on the end and he is getting tired of putting it together. That said, it's tall and large:)
We originally had a smaller set of bunk beds from his sisters and they were teeny. My girls share a room and my 8 yr old, for years, hated the bottom bunk because her head would hit. They were short bunk beds. We bought these specifically because they are so tall! My girls are 8 and 3 and my 3 yr old gets scared at night, so now I can just lay down with her and we have plenty of room- even if I have the baby in tow:) I think we will love the beds... If they ever get put together. I read reviews on how much ppl disliked the assembly part and now I understand why, as my husband bangs stuff around in the room- lol
One more thing that I am nervous about is that when you climb up to get into the 'very high' top bunk, you have to hike your leg over the railing. That seems a bit like a hazard, you would think there would be a space in the railing to get up there. We shall see how it goes. At least we won't be claustrophobic with all of the height. Mattresses will be delivered tomorrow- I will update when we sleep a night in them:)
Update: I slept with the kids the first night. No sqeeks, sleeps well. We bought foam mattresses for them- you can put a thick, pillow to mattress and still have plenty of head room. My kids think the bed is a jungle gym- lol
We were missing a few square clips that hold the slats in place- I prob should contact them. It's a nice bed. Super tall:) it would be perfect for teens. Really tall. Almost dangerous tall.
