Plastic pieces make me angry. You wouldnt like me when Im angry.
My wife would give this a 5. My 9 year old would give it a 5. But they didnt put it together, and Im mad as hell. Maybe its my sore fingers from beating the little plastic pieces in because they just wouldnt fit. More than a couple flew across the room. Some are just smashed in there. I beat the everliving crap out of the support bars trying to get them to fit. They did. eventually.
While I was putting the 100 or so plastic pieces in that keep the support bars from jumping out of their holes, I couldnt help but remember the scene from Terminator 2 where they go in to shoot the man that lead the research at Cyberdyne, ultimately responsible for the death of millions. Or was it billions. Anyway, I couldnt help but wonder if whoever made this had any idea for the horrors he has bestowed on his fellow man. I just dont get why more people havent complained about it.
It took me about 4 or so hours. Well, maybe more with those plastic pieces. Dont plan to put it up in one evening if you get home at 6PM like me.
Looks good. Pretty sturdy. Put a sheet of plywood (48x75.75) on the bottom to help distribute weight with the 6 memory foam mattress we got our 9 yr old. His old twin is going on top. Twin mattress I mean. You didnt think we were putting a twin sibling up there did you. Well you could, but youd have to really play up the benefits of being on top. Me, I like the more spacious bottom bunk.
For the value, its really good. You can spend a lot more and get something a lot smaller. But how much time and frustration would you save with another product. If youre looking for things to get so your husband can put them together and you can save money and have a happy kid, this is your product. Dont let the 3 star rating deter you. If youre a man or handy woman and you want to make the others around you happy (perhaps they like seeing you cry.) then this is your ticket. Its a nice design though.
