As per the title: the both bed frames are larger than a standard twin (top bunk) and full (bottom bunk). More information and what I did as workarounds are below.
That said, pros:
/ Sturdy. Very sturdy. Its going no where.
/ Easy to assemble with clear directions and parts very well labeled
/ Pro, but mostly opinion: attractive piece that looks more expensive than it was
Cons:
/ Top bunk: standard twin size mattress is 4 inches shorter than the frame, width close enough once bed was made (maybe 0.5/0.75 inch per side unmade)
/ Bottom bunk: standard full mattress is 2/3 inches narrower than frame on both sides, length fine
/ Most of the build requires an Allen wrench which adds to time to build (and painful on the hands after awhile)
Neutral:
/ Takes about 4 hours to assemble, which would be expected considering, but something to be aware of
/ Did not have a strong smell as per some reviews
/ Direction of bottom bunk can be flipped and is in directions how to do so
/ Be aware all three windows for top bunk are the same height as the top rail and large, so potentially easy to fall out of if a child isnt careful/supervised
/ Note this is a junior height loft, so clearance/head room for the full bed is limited
/ Spacing between ladder rungs is relatively large
Additional notes:
/ We used an existing 14 mattress with topper so head room is extremely limited. Based on experience, would suggest an 8, 10 maximum mattress for the bottom bunk
/ Purchased a 6 memory foam mattress for the top, did not immediately notice any sagging between the slats which are 4 apart, but purchased a bunkie board for the top bunk for additional support (maybe not necessary, but the spacing is enough with a non/spring mattress for concern). Top bunk can easily accommodate an 8 mattress with plenty of safety railing left above it.
/ To resolve lengthwise gap in top bunk, purchased a trianglular bed wedge (VEKKIA Twin Size Bed Wedge Pillow) and placed it point/down in the gap at the head of the mattress which closed the gap nicely
/ To resolve the side gaps on the bottom bunk, determined space between corner supports of frame is 38 and filled gaps on each side with two bench cushions (one on each side). Purchased Klear Vu The Gripper Non/Slip Tufted Omega Universal Bench Cushion, 36 inch.
/ Due to not having a headboard plus frame creating space between head of bed and wall for bottom bunk, purchased another bed wedge to fill in the gap
/ Modifications with cushions and wedges cost an additional 140 plus 60 for the bunkie board, which is something to consider into the price. In retrospect, I may have chosen a different bed at that higher total price point to save the aggravation of the workarounds.
My child absolutely loves the bed and beyond having to solve for the length/width issues, I found the assembly a breeze and believe it to be a solid piece of furniture. Really Happy!!
Well built bunk bed. Fairly easy to assemble as the instructions were good. Materials were decent quality. My son loves it but its a pain to make the bed. Great find!!
The boxes 4 boxes arrived at different times and damaged. 1 box was barely together and 3 of the boxes were wet (1 was soaked). We contacted the company about the damaged boards the said they would be glad to replace the damaged boards but it was going to take a few months or we can return it for a refund. That would require to haul four 60 lbs boxes to return. I dont have a vehicle to carry all those at once so it would be multiple trips. I dont really have a place to store these boxes plus I would have to open all the boxes and have all the pieces lying around waiting for replacements. I ended up keeping them and had to repair the boards myself. Good but not what I expected
I read that a full size mattress doesnt fit well and they were correct. I have about a 2 inch gap on both sides of the mattress. I didnt get a super plush, pillow top mattress for the bottom so there would be head room under the bunk. Word of advice is to keep the mattress under 10 thick or youll feel like youre going to hit your head on the top bunk. For the top bunk we kept the mattress under 10 as well so that the rails were still high enough to deter falling off. I have a 5 and 2 year old in the bunk beds. I really liked that the bottom mattress was low to the ground so I didnt have to worry about the 2 year old falling off. However, since the mattress doesnt fit well, I have body pillows cushioning/filling the gaps. Sometimes we still have to lay with our 2 yo for him to fall asleep and it can feel claustrophobic. Never had bunk beds before so not sure if thats the case with any bunk bed though. I was nervous that the wood wouldnt be smooth (I guess due to it looking rustic) but the grain is smooth. No splinters here (yet). My boys love it. Cute concept. This was definitely a good choice.
Aming bed for the price!! My kids love it and it is sturdy! I can cuddle on the top bunk w my kid and it doesnt move. Definitely recommend! This is a cute design,
My kids love this bed and it feels very sturdy. It took about 4 hrs to put together with the kids around though. Our only complaint is the smell. Its been a week and the room still smells However I still wouldnt recommend you try buying it
I bought this for my 6 and 3 year old. Its made great, the wood is solid and beautiful. It looks aming in their bedroom and much shorter than other bunks to fit in their lower ceiling room. Better than the picture!
This bed is everything. I bought from my girls and they love it and when I say its so well made and for the price of you really cannot beat this bed. It took about 3 hours putting it together but the instructions are easy all the pieces re labeled with letters!! The nails/ bolts are all also labeled There are even a few extra or spare pieces which is convenient !! The instructions are easy to read and easy to follow. The wood is solid and the bed is completely sturdy! I would recommend again and again again!!! Love the finished product!!

Make sure youre not claustrophobic
