Upper bed is sturdy enough for elder also, also it is easy to put down.
First time assembly, required one day for me. If looking for a good quality , descent looking sturdy bed , go for it. Great value. Very sturdy.
Overall, this is a decent quality, young childrens bed for the price point. There are some issues with quality control, primarily a result of lesser quality lumber, but not unexpected due to the cost. As shipped, the box requires two people to move around. Assembly is tedious, but only requires a second person to mount the upper bunk on the lower. A drill will greatly speed up assembly time.
The bed is constructed from a combination of pine for the finished pieces and plywood/laminate for the mattress slats. It appears that the pine has not been dried completely before milling and some the pieces may develop cracks over time as a result. Obviously, cracks can weaken the beds structural integrity depending on their severity and location. In the three months since purchase, I have noticed only a few small cracks in the spacers between the top bunk slats, nothing that has given me concerns about integrity or safety.
The bed requires full assembly, headers and footers are boxed as components, not completed pieces. Hardware consists of bolts, cabinet nuts, wood screws and wooden dowels. Although easy to assemble with a Phillips screwdriver and the included wrench, it is a tedious affair. The use of t/handled wrenches, and a drill with both screw and hex bits, will reduce build time. I also recommend the use of wood glue during assembly of the headers and footers.
Assembly was straightforward, taking approximately three hours with the aforementioned tools and glue. The instructions were clear and easy to understand. The only issues I encountered during assembly were difficult to remove labels identifying each of the wood parts, and plywood had separated on two of the bed slats requiring glue and clamps to repair. All of the pre/drilled holes and screw marks lined up. Mounting the top bunk frame proved to be a two/person task, but the remainder could be managed by one person.
The slats are spaced too far apart for the use of a futon/style mattress.
As shipped, this is not a bed for adult use. It may be possible for a single adult to sleep on the lower bunk, but this will require more sturdy slats and a foundation. Adults and older children should not use the top bunk at all. The guard rails are of a safe height, but like the ladder, limited to the pictured configuration.
The bed is finished with a low/gloss white paint. I saw no visible drips or runs during assembly.Good.
The package arrived and was left in front of the house. No worry about anyone stealing it because it was VERY heavy. We unpackaged it outside and carried in piece by piece.
The instructions were easy and I was able to assemble it by myself. I would recommend a drill bit for the hex key because I did it all with the tools provided and ended up with a blister. My 10 year old twins helped lift the twin on top of the full.
We still need the mattresses but so far we love it. Attractive and strong.
Love these bunkbeds. My husband put them together in about two hours. They are sturdy and beautiful. Much cheaper, too, than similar options we saw at stores. I loved it.
When purchasing this item I saw a lot of complaints about assembly time. I dont know what people expected when assembling two beds. Full set up time took about 2 hours for us. There are also complaints about it being a two person job. Again, its a full sized bed so I dont know what people expect. Furthermore, it can be done with one person. Its just extremely easier with two people. Great frame. Feels sturdy. Beautiful color. My Nephew likes it,
Built it with 2 people in around 3 hours. Made a few mistakes that were easy to correct. The hardest part are the barrel locking nuts are difficult to line up.
Feels sturdy but light. The trendy new foam matress in a box (purple ghost etc.) will work on bottom bunk but not on top due to slat design and spacing.
Our bed is for a 5 year old but an older kid may struggle with the short height of the top bunk limiting head space on bottom bunk.
We would buy again. My son loves it!
This bed is great! Assembled easily and looks expensive. The only complaint I have is that one if the boards is slightly cracked at the head of the full size bottom. Good Product.

Value for money

Decent quality for the price point. Requires two people move and assemble, and over four hours of assembly time with basic tools

Slats are too far apart
The slats makes the bed uncomfortable and difficult to find a mattress.
