This bed is very sturdy and we've now had it for 4 years. Because it's a metal construction, there is a bit of squeaking, especially from the top bunk, which is noticeable for the person on the bottom bunk. Movement on the top bunk causes a fair bit of squeaking noise for sure. I've regularly tightened screws and sprayed them with WD40 but not managed to rectify this problem, however the metal poles meet metal poles and so a bit of squeaking is perhaps unavoidable. The height to the upper level is a bonus as it's possible to sit up fully. An adult can sit upright under the bed without bumping their heads. So it's nice to be able to read books in the bottom bunk. The ladder is metal and the ladder steps are quite narrow poles so not the easiest to climb and my son says they're a little uncomfortable on his feet, but the upside is they deter and perhaps even prevent him from racing up and down the ladder too quickly. It did take a long time to assemble this bunk bed - probably 5-6 hours with two people building. But I've moved house twice since building this, and it goes up and down extremely easily for the purpose of moving. However this week, one of the middle leg supports on the bottom bump, seen in photo, has snapped off. I don't know how important it is. My son is still only 7 years old so he's not heavy. A regular wooden bed has only 4 legs with no middle supports, and the slats are enough to support a mattress. I'm therefore a little concerned whether there's an issue now and whether the bed is supportive enough. It has highlighted an issue about contact with the seller. Since 4 years has passed since buying this, my 'correspondence window' with the seller through the site has now closed, so I don't know how to get hold of the seller. Looking back at my order, in the returns/ report a problem section of the site, I discovered that I had the opportunity to contact the seller for maybe a couple of months for information or support. After that, the option was taken away. So it's worth being aware that buying through a site like is limiting if you need to contact the seller for help beyond the couple of months. If I'd bought this from a regular shop, I'd still be able to return to the store. Overall I would recommend this product, but hope to get more years of use out of it. I was expecting my son to use it for at least another 3-4 years. I hope the seller might read this and let me know if that's the case.
Nice looking bed but does squeak
