Overall, I really like this bed. It was somewhat easy to assemble and looks great in my son's room. The wood seems to be sturdy enough to stand the test of time with boys. If you are looking for a neutral and simple bed, this one is for you! The only complaints that I have would have to do with the assembly. Some of the holes that the bolt goes into are not deep enough which makes putting this thing together really difficult. We had to whittle out some additional wood out of a few holes to get the bolt to go into the nut. This was very frustrating. The second complaint pertains to the slats in the head board. The cutouts in the horizontal planks are much larger than the insert portion on the slats themselves. They do not stay still and it takes 2 people just to put this section together.
Overall, we love this bed. The ladder design is great, and there is ample clearance between the bunks for me to sit up on the bottom bunk with an 8 inch mattress (Though I am only 5'2.) I doubt it would support the 400lb per bed over time, as it claims, but it is still a very sturdy bed and can support 200lb per bed. The quality of the wood is above average, though we did still get small cracks in a few boards when tightening screws. The finish is nice, but I don't love all of the holes that show where the screws are inserted. I found the stickers they provided to cover them really strange. I think a plastic plug of some kind or even wooden plugs would be much nicer. We just opted to leave the holes showing, and I barely notice them most of the time now. The clearance under the the bottom bunk is also great! We have room for the kids' sleeping bags, off-season clothes, and a few other items that needed to be stored.
My husband and I bought this for our daughter/granddaughter. Had it assembled in less than 2 hours including opening 2 new memory foam mattresses and placing on slats to await full decompression. Bought it for guest room and wanted the versatility and underbed storage that this bed provided. Only complaint it that the directions are a bit confusing with only pictures and no written instructions; however, this does not take away from the quality of the bed. Overall, glad we chose this one!
We wanted a bed for our daughters (5 and 8) and didn't want to pay $1000 from Pottery Barn, etc. This one went together fairly easy over an afternoon. You assemble each bed separately then put them together. We've had it for 3 months and it has held up well. You can keep the beds separate, and you can choose which side to mount the ladder. The paint was well done (though smelly, see below). Box was marked Made in Vietnam. We used two inexpensive memory foam mattresses from (8 thick) and they've been a great complement to this bed.
Cons:
1. The paint smells really bad when you first open it and assemble it. We spent a couple of *weekswith windows open and fan on to get rid of the smell. I wasn't thrilled about that for a kids' product but it does eventually go away. Recommend airing for 3 weeks before using if possible.
2. There are no covers for the screw holes. They're just deep open holes. Looks kind of bad. Even stickers would have been nice.
My kids LOVE their new solid wood bed!!! We received it very quickly, packed securely in one box with all the hardware and instructions included. Assembly was very straight forward and it didn't take us long at all, which was great because the kids couldn't wait to try it out!
I am so impressed with the overall quality. The bed is beautiful and looks great in their room! I love all the extra details like the cutouts on top of the ladder which make it easier for my youngest daughter to climb up and the ridges on the ladder steps to keep from slipping. It's also great that all of the hardware is hidden after assembly, so there aren't those unsightly nuts and bolts taking away from the white color. I love the fact that the beds are secured together with extra wooden pieces, which gives the whole set up a really solid feel. The extra support bar gives me the peace of mind that I can climb up in bed with my little ones to read their bedtime stories and I know that it can easily carry the weight. Not only does it look great, but I can sleep well knowing that my kids are in a safe bed.
Another feature I really like is that this bed can easily be turned into two beds. As my kids grow, this gives them even more options with the set up of their room. With the solid wood construction and the versatility, I know that they will be using these beds for years to come. I think it's wonderful that not only were there different color and style options, but there are customizations you can get as well! I love that you can add drawers to the bottom, which is perfect for saving space. My kids really like that there is a pull out trundle option, which they have asked me to order for sleepovers.
This bed exceeded my expectations and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Now my kids are actually excited for bed time! I would definitely recommend
I was about to order beds from pottery barn kids for $300 more. But decided to go with these instead. So happy! They seem strong, paint is as good as rest of our pottery barn furniture in the kids rooms. So happy! so easy to put together as well.
This is a great bed. Much, much sturdier than the bed we had previously had from Ikea. While my husband said it still was exactly a cinch to put together, it certainly wasn't any worse than the bed from Ikea. The stickers included to cover the screws are rather cheap looking, but they have held up well for our girls. I was very unsure of ordering a bed online, but this bed has gone beyond my expectations!
Nice design and reasonable assembly. Its soft wood with a nice finish. Great customer service. We had some missing parts due to box damage on shipping so I contacted Maxwood directly via email and they were very kind, responsive, and efficient in getting us the parts as soon as possible. This is a “buy again item for me if needed.
Additional note: bought Modway Aveline 8 Gel Infused Memory Foam Mattress which has worked quite well with it.

Easy assembly and clear instructions
Easy assembly and clear instructions, would be 5 stars but product uses stickers to cover the assembly holes, plastic caps would be preferred.
