I did SO much research before committing to these beds. Heres why I ended up buying these and loving them.
/Super sturdy design: When we built them, I had my husband (a GIANT) bounce around on top and bottom bunks. Not so much as one creak.
/ Beautiful color: We got the espresso. Very rich looking.
/Detachable ladder: love that our litte one cant clamber up to the top unsupervised in the middle of the night. The ladder also slides on and off really well, as it has a soft lining that protects the wood underneath.
Hardware: the kit gives you stickers to cover the hardware, but the oil rubbed bronze hardware was too cool to cover. Its not super glaring, but the uncovered hardware goves the beds a cool, industrial vibe.
/Transitional design: I love that down the road, we could easily turn these into two twin size beds.
Tips: This for sure needs a lower mattress profile. We got foam mattresses, which work well for me and our kiddo, but my husband can feel the bed slats through them, so if heavier people are laying on them, youll want a low profile mattress that also has enough cushion to keep the slats from being noticeable.
