my daughter and son share a room. after searching the internet for months, we finally decided to go with this white, metal bunk bed and use it as two separate beds. we also purchased the Sleep Master 6-Inch Smooth Top Therapeutic Memory Foam Mattress, Twin mattresses. they fit perfectly and are very comfortable. it took our daughter a week to get used to the foam, but she is fine now.
the beds came in a very long and heavy rectangular box. you definitely need two people to carry it. make sure to have a garbage bag handy when you are ready to assemble bc there are a lot of plastic baggies and foam pieces. my kids ran around with the foam and made it snow in our house.
i had very little problem putting the bed together with the help of my dad. it took about 2-3 hours. we didnt notice the 5 or 7 holed pole that people were complaining about (rod H)-- i think they redesigned the piece to be easier to manage. or who knows. we did have to look online for the directions bc the paper directions we had did not have a picture for assembling all those little plastic pieces (88 of them).
so far, we havent had any problems with this bed. my husband who is a BIG guy lays down on this bed with my two kids to read them stories. we haven't tried to put the bunk bed together, so i can't write much about that.
i was worried about the metal being too hard for the kids (they are movers and rollers when they sleep)... but they've adjusted and i put pillows on the sides for my little one. they love their new beds... and are out of our room!!!!
my kids love their new beds!
