I bought three of these, yes, three. I read all the reviews, took my time making sure the measurements would work. The first one was super easy to put up, if you have experience building home furniture this will be a piece of cake for you. It took my Husband and BIL about 1 hour to build it, mostly because they kept getting interrupted. One of the boxes came all taped up but none of the parts were missing or damaged. My teens LOVE THEM! They are a great way to combine kids in one room and still have their own space that is strictly their own, no lines in the sand to draw! The is great, the shelves are great, it is a great deal for the cost. Here is the reason why it only gets 4 stars. The MOST used part of the bed, the ladder is truly awful. How it even passed just the companys general okay lets go with this, is a shocker. We went to the dollar store and bought pool noodles to put over them and we plan on sewing some cute panels to Velcro around the pool noodles to hide them and just kind of cheer up the ladder a bit. We have the beds on concrete and find we are not having any real issues w/ sturdiness. Its a bed so you get the noise that comes w/ it but we didnt find that to be a problem and still dont even w/ two of them in one room. The teens are various sizes, all almost 15 y.o. and they just love being able to have a dedicated space thats their own. They have never complained about the sturdiness of it nor have they ever felt the bed lift or anything to make them feel it is unstable. I will upload pics if I am able at some point to show how the Teens expressed themselves in their little Cubbies. But first, they have to clean their room.
Great Value for your Money!
