So far so good! Looks great and feels sturdy The instructions were poor and led to my friend and I having to redo a couple steps. Actually I think we got one wrong/mislabeled piece as well but it made a small cosmetic difference and I didnt want to wait for a replacement.
The smell isnt as strong as I feared from these comments. Certainly didnt give anybody a headache but it does smell like paint a little bit. Someone said it was composite instead of solid but I can literally see the wood grain (subtly) under the paint. I started to worry some of you were getting knock offs by how much the reviews varied, so I made sure to order directly from the seller and Im happy I did.
I wish the bed was taller but really only Pottery Barn sold taller beds. With a normal ten inch mattress at the bottom bunk, an adult cannot sit under the top bunk. I didnt want to replace the mattress I already have but if youre buying new mattresses I think a little thinner would be better. We bought a tuft and needle nod 8 mattress for the top bunk. That works pretty well and also comes in 6 which would give you more head clearance on the bottom. This is another plus to a twin over full vs full over full: parent can still sit comfortably on the edge of the bed to tuck in the littles.
As many reviews have said, the bed slats are way too far apart. For the bottom I put in the slats from the bed I replaced, but I will need a bunky board or more slats for the top bunk. While it may be supportive enough as is.. its hard to make the bed without sheets etc hanging down over the bottom bunk as three isnt a good place to tuck them in with only sparsely spaced slats.
All in all I am satisfied with my purchase. The price was reasonable, delivery was quick, and the assembly is not too hard with a friend. My kids are so happy and, assuming it stays intact, they will get many years of use out of the beds. Bonus that I can theoretically separate it into two beds at the end, which is just a matter of lifting the top bunk off and putting it down.
Anyway, I hope this helps if youre on the fence.
High quality product. Takes time to assemble. I did a ton of research when purchasing a bunk bed and ended up with this one for my 7 and 2 year old boys. I chose this one because of the high weight capacity on the top bunk and the height of the top bunk (we can sit on the bottom bunk with plenty of head clearance). We also liked that we could get a separate standalone twin bed frame from the same company that matched for when our youngest son moves into the room. The bed has held up well over the past year. Its definitely been jumped and climbed on by the boys and its been fine. It does wobble a little more than I like and the ladder is a challenge for an adult to climb up, which is why I gave 4 stars. Overall Im still happy with this purchase. My father is a very experienced woodworker and he complimented the beds construction after he put it together. I think this is the best bunk bed option at this price point.
Great Price and Easy to Assemble I read all the reviews at multiple websites before buying this bed, and ultimately bought it here because they had the Natural color I wanted for my sons room. A lot of reviews said it was hard to put together, but I did it in under an hour by myself, except for having a 2nd person to help with the headboard. The directions were pretty straightforward, but they are images only, no text, which might be more difficult for people who are language oriented instead of visual. I did have to put the footboard together twice because the first time I got the center panel in upside down, but that was because I didnt look at the directions that closely. It only added maybe five minutes to the build time though because this thing goes together fast. It feels intimidating when it arrives because its all in pieces, but dont let that scare you.
Also, this thing is SOLID. No creaking or movement even when my kids tries using it as a trampoline. One of the things we liked the most about it was the unusually high weight limit for a kids bed, which means I can lay next to him and read a story without worrying about the two of us coming close to or exceeding the weight limit. Its great and I highly recommend it.
Sturdy looks the same as in photos great price These bunks are for smaller children. Not much head clearance for adults getting in and out. That being said they are very nice.
It is really pretty My granddaughter loves the looks of her new bunk beds and I loved the ease of assembly. Simply followed the instructions and there it was...a good looking, sturdy twin on top of full, bunk beds.
Thank you for listening.

Better than expected We bought 3 of these for our vacation home and the first one took 4 hrs to put together but the other two only took a couple hours. Directions are pretty good. Large printed pages with drawings of how things go together. Packed extremely well and the cardboard box is one tough box as I found out trying to cut it up for the recycling bin. These beds hold 450lb each! They do not look cheap, dont feel cheap and the painting of them (we got white) was as smooth as could be. Tools included for their screws but its helpful if you have a power drill to help with securing the slats. Oh and the slats are attached to each other which secures them in their position under the mattress (not included) after you attach them to the bed frame with included screws. We are very happy with these beds!!

Still happy after a year of use

Great toddler bed
Perfect for small spaces. 4 year old helped assemble, fun project together. Though the slats were not easy. Great guest bed for company, too
