The bed is perfectly set for my 8 and 5 year old sons. Very sturdy but have to be cautious while assembling otherwise you will end up wasting a lot of time. The customer support is very good. In my package one of the part was missing threads and they sent me another part without any questions within 4 days.
The bed is well built and sturdy -- especially considering the low price.
The only complaint, as others have mentioned, is it is easy to goof the instructions and get in trouble when it is time to secure the ladder.
My suggestion: Mount the ladder BEFORE connecting the cross-rails and securing them with the plastic snaps. That way you can make adjustments to place the ladder in the right orientation BEFORE reaching the point of no return. I ordered and set up two beds. On the first, I goofed and had to go to home depot to buy a bolt, a washer, and a nut and we had to drill an extra hole. On the second bed, I followed my above suggestion and we didn't have any problems mounting the ladder.
so far so good! we put it together, have the mattress on it, and it all seems to be working great! your fingers will hurt after putting this together, though. i loved how quick the shipping was!
Bed is sturdy enough for adults. Really helps when we have lots of guests at the cabin. Would recommend. Take your time putting it together, or you will re-do some.
Very, very solid! Packed very well. Arrived with no scratches even though outside box was damaged in shipping. It came 5 days before the day it was supposed to arrive, and all the parts were there & were labeled. It took me and my 8 year old daughter about 4 hours to assemble, but I was very methodical and slow. We did an inventory of all parts before we began, and I read other consumer reviews for helpful hints. I even switched the ladder to the other side --- and did so correctly!! Only negative about the bed is that the ladder rungs are thin, round and hard, so they have a tendancy to hurt the bottoms of my daughters feet. I'm thinking of getting some swimming noodles and attaching with double sided tape around the rungs to lessen the impact.
We got this bed for my 5 year old. It has literally only been assembled about an hour, but the overall quality seems acceptable. I'm about 135 pounds, and I had to climb onto the top to finish assembly. Even with my fear of heights, the bed seemed plenty sturdy. My biggest issue is that the final step, putting these little plastic clips over the support bars (the ones that go under the mattress) was...well...I'd love to use some colorful language to describe it. Suffice it to say, that part took longer than assembling the entire bed.
What I finally came up with was using painters tape to hold the clip in place, holding a pair of needlenose pliers against the tape, and hitting the side of the pliers with a hammer. That took me from about a 50% break rate and at least 75% failure rate to about 80% success. It's a good thing they sent extra clips, though I still ended up several short. I think by the time I was done, I'd broken at least a dozen of them! My 5 year old was helping me, and I really do NOT use language, ESPECIALLY around my kids, but I'll admit to slipping a time or two. I was beyond frustrated. I can't justify rating the bed lower because of one, non-supporting component, but they REALLY need to come up with a better way of locking the support bars down!
Got this bed for my son. He loves it. However, I definately recommend a sturdy mattress or a box spring for the bottom bunk, otherwise the bars can make sleeping uncomfortable.

Great Trundle frame
A little time consuming to put together, but this trundle is very sturdy and comfortable. We are happy with it.
Better than I expected!!

Decent quality, Made in USA, Easy assembly...until the final step

Strong
My kids love it. Strong an comfortable, just wish the top bunk railing was higher. My 4 yr old uses the bars as a jungle gym - tough bed
Great bed for the price
Got this bed for my son. He loves it. However, I definately recommend a sturdy mattress or a box spring for the bottom bunk, otherwise the bars can make sleeping uncomfortable.
Great Quality for the money!
Received bed yesterday. Put it together by myself with no real problems. Very nice bed for the money! Kids love it!
