I purchased this over a metal bed because it looked more sturdy and nicer. I had a handy man help me assemble it and it was wobbling. We had to add support boards to stabilize it. The wood was much more narrow than I expected and it looks like a Walmart quality bed. I could have bought a metal bed for a fraction of the price. I hoped to be receiving a pottery barn Aesthetic that would last for years to come. Instead I got a wobbly cheap looking bed that I will be lucky if it last 2 years. Keep your money and look else where.
Top bunk sits lower than shown on pics. I like this set though. It took a bit of time to build it but my grandson and I did it! It's of pretty good quality in my opinion.
Parts marked with the wrong letter, holes don't line up, extra holes, split wood on several of the pieces, just crappy pictures for the directions, no written instructions. We actually had to glue some of the split spots on the wood.
Whew this took a long time for my husband and I to assemble. 2 mathematical people with the proper tools and yet . . .so plan to spend a very long day assembling. Read thoroughly. If you get 1 picture wrong ( since it lacks verbal directions) you will have to take it all apart.
My son loves it! It doesn't feel sturdy like our other wood furniture...but it was cheap so you get what you pay for. However it doesn't feel like it will break so we are ok with that.
It However is very low! So expect your child will hit his head when getting up at night. It is not a normal height bunk!!! My son who is 4 feet (1st grade) woke us up screaming when he banged his head-he banged it into the perpendicular top bunk when he sat up quickly on his full bed. So now he is forced to sleep with a night light.
Just know...your child won't use this for long (so we are happy we didn't buy the 1200 one. Lol)
This is a very good looking set up and most of the bed is made with real wood (the storage steps have some particle board parts). The set arrived in 3 separate boxes (one of them arrived a week later than the rest). Only one of the boxes contains the hardware so be VERY careful while opening the crates. Ours had red thread attached to the hardware bags. Each box has its own set of directions and the translation from Vietnamese to English is NOT GOOD. Yes, these are made in Vietman, so if you're a vet of that era you may not want to purchase them.
Take your time and lay out all the parts, and hardware. The hardware bags have tiny (and I mean tiny) pieces of paper in them with the designated part number (or letter) on them. Be very wary while opening the bags. You'll want to assemble these beds with at least two people as there are many steps and some require holding up partially assembled parts to attach to other parts. My wife and I spent somewhere around 3-4 hours assembling both beds and the steps. It is a very long process which is not helped by the fact that the screw heads are Allen wrench and the wrench provided is very small. My hands were literally numb by the time we were done.
I weigh around 190 and wouldn't dare to climb up onto the top bunk. The cross members are not very thick and the legs of the bed are quite thin, probably 2x3. A few of the bolts were the wrong length and I will have to cut them down to be able to use them. There was no extra hardware included with these units. So be careful. If you lose anything then you're screwed (pun intended). These are at my summer/winter cottage and I'll add picks the next time I'm there.
I purchased this bed for my son ..I Like it design so I choice this (full and twin bed separated) .it took couple hours to assemble ..the shipping fee cost to high ...and the quality no very sturdy .... after U touch the twins bed still sway ...4 columns are not strong enough ...no very common to other order children
Easy to assemble - it took about 3 hours. Everything was packaged very well. For its price, we are impressed with how durable it seems. Not your typical shaky, wobbly, squeaky bunk bed.

Bad buy
One of the most unstable bunk beds.
Saved tons!
Compared to Rooms to Go it was a great purchase. Same product and saved $1300.
Disappointed

Lower than expected

Not worth the money

Fun for when they are short

Make sure you schedule a whole bunch of time to put this thing together.
