I purchased this bed after searching around on multiple sites for what I thought was the best design, finish and perceived quality for my kids bedroom. I have to say, I am 99 impressed. The missing 1 is due to the fact that there were, unfortunately, some missing part labels/letters. That being said, even with some missing letters, I was able to put the entire bunk together in about 3 hours all by myself. It was also in a 10x10 room with the 2 twin mattresses still in the room (one laying flat, the other against a wall). Even in that compact space, I was able to get everything figured out and assembled in what I believe is a reasonable amount of time. Had I had more room to work with and all parts labeled, I probably couldve shaved another 30m off.
Anyway, the build quality is very good. We previously had a 1000 bunk in the room, but it was too tall (yes, inexperience allowed me to purchase without measuring for height). That piece was extremely well made and this one is fairly similar in what Id consider build quality. No, not the same, but reasonably similar.
There is a/some negative reviews about slats not measuring out right, but the main negative review I read was 2 years old (2013 vs. 2015). Im guessing that the manufacturer either corrected any error there was at that time in the manufacturing of the parts (probable) or the reviewer was not able to build the bunks as they were meant to be (hopefully, not the case because I hate it when ignorant people blast something thats actually their own fault). I say this because my experience was mostly positive and the final product is excellent as far as Im concerned.
Ill say that Im no contractor or engineer, but I have basic common sense and believe that anyone with a bit of logic can build this bunk even if it is missing some labelling. Just be smart, lay everything out ahead of time to get a good idea of where everything goes and you should be fine. I was
So, for the price, I have to say that Id highly recommend this bunk bed to anyone and everyone. Its a steal as far as Im concerned.
Great bunks Even better price!
