Our boys share a room and had ed together for 8 years. It was time to give them each their own personal space, so we ordered two of these beds. They were stoked at the idea of getting their own area (and I was curious to see whos the cleaner of the twoverdict still out on that!).
The first bed took about 2 hours to put together, given my husband had three children trying to help him. At one point, they put the wrong piece on somewhere (I think they put the round rods where the square rods go). So they had to backtrack and fix it. The second bed took less than 1.5 hours.
The beds are very sturdy! Of course, my boys weigh under 100 lbs each, but these dont feel wobbly or squeak too much. The shelves are nice because they have a bar that lines them on three sides so they can use them like a bookshelf and books dont fall off the back or sides. The is a good height, but is a little tall if using just a folding chair (would need a chair thats a little taller). We added LED rope tape lights under the bed in the area so they have some lighting when theyre drawing or hanging out in their own space. Having their own sides of the room has given them their own additional space and the beds are so tall that they like to just lay up there and whisper stories to themselves and it feels like (once again) that they have personal space. So much better in that personal space department than beds!
My boys love their new beds!
