Elegant and very comfortable First of all, I read a lot of the reviews on this product. I was a little afraid when some people commented about cracked boards. I am an electrical contractor for thirty plus years. I watched two of my electricians put the bed together. It took about three hours. I had NO cracks. Most importantly I am very impressed with the quality and solidness (if thats a word) of this bed. The wood slats for the mattresses are spaced perfectly and in abundance. Excellent product and what a value for the money.
It is comfortable and easy to store and assemble. Lots of pieces to put together! But very well labeled! Best if put together with two people. My granddaughter loves it.
Gorgeous and well-built A SOLID WOOD piece of furniture! - Extremely unusual for a DIY, RTA piece of furniture. The railings, headboard, and footboard are plywood, and the slats are solid pine. The quality is impressive for the price. All of the pieces and parts were present and aligned perfectly. The assembly instructions are adequate. You should probably use a separate piece of thin plywood, luan, or very heavy cardboard (i.e., the beds packaging material) over the slats to avoid damaging the mattresses. Probably mandatory with foam mattresses.
Helpful hints:
You will need a power drill/driver (ideally with an adjustable torque clutch) and another set of hands.
Be sure not to over tighten the wood screws, although the bolts and nuts require a bit more torque.
Carefully orient the headboards and footboards during assembly so that the upper and lower bunks align and adjoin.
Dry-fit the headboards and footboards flat on the floor before tightening fasteners.
Overall, I was very surprised by the high quality of this RTA bunk bed.
We wanted to convert the gym in our home to a childrens bedroom for when our grandchildren visit (ages 3 and 5). We wanted a bunk bed that would allow us to maximize the floor space for the kids, but also wanted something larger than a twin in the event we had a houseful of company and needed to put adults in there. We looked at the local stores but didnt find anything we liked, and everything we saw was $500 and up plus delivery and set up...so I did some web surfing and found this bed .com. It fit our needs, looked okay, and the price was certainly good. But if you have dealt with a store in recent years, you know how difficult they have become when it comes to returns or issues with a purchase. So I went to (my preferred online shopping source) and found the same item for essentially the same price. Done deal. I also bought two memory foam mattresses and the total delivered price was less than just the beds we saw locally.
Delivery was earlier than expected and UPS and even brought the (heavy) box inside. All the parts were there and my wife re-labeled everything for ease of set up. Instructions were good with adequate detiail, and the hardware was all numbered and blister packed, so the assembly went like clock work. I have a tip for you handymen. Toss the free Allen wrench they supplied, look in your security bit assortment and use your screw gun or drill (my bits are from a Harbor Freight set I bought for under $10 and I have used it a lot). You will save yourself hours and the finished product will be more secure. The total time from opening the box to finished product was under 6 hours. I am more confident in the bed and my own assembly than if a delivery crew did a rush job for a bed that my grandchildren will sleep on.
Bought a white one for my 4 year old. It was so easy to put together that my 9 and 11 year old did most of the work. Then I bout a black one for my son (they love having sleepovers)...my kids pit that one together as well.
