This is a poorly designed bunk bed. There are many cross bars that the mattresses rest on. These bars must each be installed, and each require 2 plastic pieces (one on each end) that are difficult to place and difficult to remove. The plastic pieces also break during installation. Placing each plastic piece is difficult and timeconsuming. As a result the bunk takes hours to setup. There are too many pieces. I would prefer it if the part of the bunk that supports the mattress is only one piece, instead of many. This requires a larger box but is completely worth it. I have another bunk which is designed with one piece supporting the mattress and is much easier to disassemble, move, and reassemble.
The bunk doesnt keep its shape really well on the diagonal. What I mean by this is you can grab one end of the bunk and move it sideways. What you would expect is the entire bunk to move, but what actually happens is the other end stays in place and the entire frame just turns into a parallelogram (when viewed from the top). Its not exceptionally bad but it is there. This really is the worst bunk bed design I have ever seen, Im not just exaggerating.
I gave two stars instead of one because aside from the parallelogram effect described above, it is quite strong for how small the bars are. And light. Its ok.
Too many pieces! Laborious assembly.
