Purchased these for our second guest room. Took about 2.5 hours to put together but worth it considering the price and free shipping. Very sturdy, looks great. We are very pleased. I am very pleased so far
Reading previous reviews was very helpful on assembly. We bought two bunk bed sets / they took about 3 hours each to unpackage, set up and then clean up all the packing materials. They were well/packaged, with no damage and no missing parts. Assembly instructions were average. Beds are very sturdy, however we are skeptical about how much weight the ladder can truly support. Tip on assembling the infamous bed rail clips is to slip one side in by hand and then use a very narrow flat head screwdriver to push the other tab in / while pushing, it should just pop in and then down snug. Previous reviewers tip on having the H bar with the seven holes down was invaluable. Also, when first assembling the end rails be sure to have the bed post screws facing up. Would purchase more if the need arose. Just follow the instructions and youll be fine!!
I got this bed. Set it up and weight of my 3 year old was enough to bend the cross bar. Thank god I didnt have them set up as bunk beds. Dont recommend this product.
After reading the reviews and taking notes on how to avoid the Step 3 Mistake, I carefully followed the otherwise clear instructions and got the bed put together curse/free in under 3 hours / I did have to enlist the help of my husband when it came to popping those blasted little plastic tabs into the crossbars, which he didnt have much trouble doing. He wondered if those who said they did have trouble were trying to push them straight in or one side at a time like he was. We also put the top crossbar/slats section together before attaching it to the frame, so maybe that made it easier. Anyway, the plastic tabs definitely make the slats feel nice and secure.
Heres the rundown: (items marked with are reasons for the 4/5 star rating)
About the construction:
/Okay, first the packaging. Couldnt have been happier. Nothing was bent, scratched, or misshapen. The packing was nice and padded and tight. None of the pieces rubbed against other . While it might seem a little wasteful, each of the 44 slats was in its own individual plastic sleeve, so none of them were marred at all. I didnt think to check, but the sleeves felt like recycled plastic. Im not sure if you know what I mean, but there you have it. Come to think of it, the cardboard for the O parts may have been recycled, too. Pretty sure the rest of the packaging wasnt, though.
/One of the holes in one of the end posts (A or D) must have been slightly off, as one of the assembled [head or foot] pieces (step 2) wasnt quite straight after I assembled it. This didnt make a difference after the bed was completely put together, though.
/ The ladder could be a little better constructed. The horizontal pieces that attach to the top bunk arent exactly flush with the edge of the crossbar it attaches to. If you have the right dremel attachment, you can widen the screwhole a little bit and push the ladder inward as you tighten the bolts. Otherwise, you may have a tiny bit (like, a cm) of a sharpish edge sticking out at the top of the ladder, either from the rectangular horizontal piece or from the top of the hollow tube. (Kind of hard to explain sorry!) Not a huge deal, and pretty easily fixable. Also, if you change your mind about where to put the ladder, its really easy to move.
/ The posts are definitely not as flush as the picture would have you believe. No surprise, of course. It would be nice, though, if there were some kind of sleeve that slipped over the tubes where they connect, kind of like a curtain rodif that makes sense.
About the finished product:
/The extra little legs in the center of the bottom crossbars are nice and make the bed feel extra sturdy.
/The ladder might take some getting used to. While the design does make it more compact since you dont have a ladder sticking out diagonally and taking up 2 or 3 feet of extra space, it is a little trickier to climb up a perfectly vertical ladder, at least for a 7/year old. The inclination is to lean back as you climb, which would loosen the joints and eventually make the bed wobbly. Im sure well get the hang of it, though.
/It really does seem sturdy. There is very little jostling on either bunk when someone gets on or off the other one, as tested by myself (115lb on top bunk) and my husband (170lb on bottom bunk). Just remember to check and tighten the bolts periodically.
/Another reviewer mentioned the height, saying its taller than most bunks. This almost turned me away, as I was nervous enough having my rambunctious 7/year old boy on a top bunk. I was relieved to find that this isnt actually the case / its the bottom bunk that is a bit lower than usual. As the other reviewer also mentioned, this gives you plenty of headroom on the bottom bunk, which is true. Unless youre freakishly tall, any adult could sit comfortably on the bottom bunk (which could be important for bedtime reading and storytime). The top bunk almost seems lower than normalIm 53 and I can almost see over it.
/I think someone mentioned the mattress size. We used two regular twin mattresses, and with bedding on them, they fit perfectly. A naked mattress would have space on the sides, but I think its meant to allow for comforters and such. If you dont use fluffy bedding, you can always fill in the space with stuffed animals!
All in all, Im happy with my purchase, and Id recommend it to someone who is looking for a sturdy bunkbed and doesnt want to settle for the cheap one that goes by many names but gives itself away with the same photo everywhere you see it.here on or at the Big Stores. If youve been shopping around for bunkbeds, you know what Im talking about. Very well built
This is a great bunk bed, especially for small spaces. I think it takes up a little less room than wooden ones. I also like that the ladder is attached so the kids cant remove it. The assembly was a breeze until you get to the little plastic things that fit into each support rod. I would recommend making sure you have all the side bars in the correct place before beginning this step so you dont have to take these out. I think other reviews say the same. We used adjustable pliers to push in the little tabs. This worked much better than using our hands. Regular twin mattresses fit perfect so theres not need to buy a special mattress. I thought this was a great value! My first one did get lost in transit while being shipped but quickly shipped me another one. GREAT LOVE IT!!!
Just what I was looking for. I bought the bunk beds two years ago for my teenage sons, who were thirteen and fourteen at the time. Two years later, its still just as sturdy as the first day. The white I thought would show everything is easily wiped down. Excellent strength and easy clean/up. Cant go wrong. We love it
First, my order came right on time! Second, my order was correct, it came in 1 big box so no hassle. The bed is great now that it is put together. My only issue, and not really an issue, was that it took about 2 hours to put it all together, and there are these little safety snaps that have to go in each hole, well. my fingers hurt pretty bad after doing them all, but it is definitely worth it. I am very happy with the entire purchase and glad I did it. It is sturdy and serves my purpose. My girls love it! Better then I thought
Easy to assembly, just read the instructions closely and dont jump ahead thinking you know how it is suppose to be assembled. Takes about 2 hours to do the job correctly and by yourself. Did not disappoint
The instructions are easy enough as long as you apply a little common sense. I picked this bunk bed because I needed extra room in my kids bedroom. The fact that it was made out of was another reason. The bed is strong and sturdy for my 2 boys. I gave 4 stars only because the squeaks every time they move even the slightest bit. For the price its a good bed You wont regret it!
Bought these for my two little ones and they are a great product for the price you pay. price wont kill you and assembly not hard just takes alittle time.
Love that you can take them apart if you want to. Very sturdy. My personal only complaint is the ladder, I wish it came with some padding or was flat steps
not the round ones. I always find myself hurting my bottom of my feet when I climb them, as I am always barefoot in my house. For the kids Im sure this is
not a problem. Good Quality for Cost
