Half the materials were missing from the shipment required for assembly as were instructions and hardware. On top of that what was delivered was damaged. Sad, as it looked like what I wanted/needed.
Overall I like my beds. I bought them for grandchildren visits. It serves this purpose well. I wanted storage for bedding and to be able to put a bed completely away when they are not here.
As everyone else creating reviews, the assembly was tedious and confusing. I communicated via the number listed in the instructions. First for the updated assembly instructions, which they emailed right away. Then with their carpenter who assembles the prototypes. He was very helpful. He explained that although he could not make any changes to the diagrams, that they have told the manufacturer that they receive a great deal of dissatisfaction from the consumer about the schematics being vague.
I am 60 yo female with no exceptional skills with tools. I assembled the beds without help in approximately 8 hours, including several, dangit breaks.
I dont like the wheels, they do not swivel so turning the lower bed is difficult. The wood is a medium to soft grade, I have several splits that I reinforced with Gorilla glue. I will choose hard wood in the future, not hardwood finish. Real hard wood. Hope this review is helpful. Well made, easy to assemble and useful.
I bought this bed for my almost 2 year old, thinking she will grow into it. I love the color!! I didnt realize just how big and bulky this bed is. The thing I dont like about it is how high it is. Im 5 3 and need a stool to get up on the bed. The bed is somewhat rickety. I believe this is caused by the mattress slats not really all being the same length. Like other reviews said, the build was tedious. The instructions were confusing and some things were not properly labeled like the tracks for the drawers. The set up took about 5 hours total, so dont start this project at 5pm if you have a little one with an 8 oclock bed time. A good 1/4 of our boards came warped. Which added some extra barriers. All in all this is a decent bed, but Im not as in love with it after seeing how high it is. Solid and basic.
Everything was as expected, but we received 2 left pieces of one section that required a L R. sent the correct part and all was well.
Also there was a small omission in the instruction that I was able to figure out. Smaller than I expected.
We LOVE this bed and so do our daughters. The reason for the 4 rating is because of the assembly. It comes completely disassembled. Meaning, each separate board has to be put together. In addition to that, the boards were not labeled well.
I rarely review but wish I had known this before. That does NOT mean that I wouldnt buy this again/ we do like it that much. I just wish that I had been more prepared for the build and the time that it would take. Nice well made.
This product was definitely worth the money. It feels sturdy and was not super difficult to assemble.
There are visible screws on the front. Thats the only thing I would change. Either provide little screw covers or make it in a way that they are hidden.
Overall pleased. Quality products.

Take your time erecting it.

GREAT bed! Assembly is kind of intense/ still worth it
