This is a review of the We Furniture Twin/Twin Bunkbed in Expresso stain. I just finished putting it together and it is a solid bunkbed. The dark stain looks great and hides some of the areas where filler was used on some of he wood panels. It took about 3 hours for me to build it. The only 2 problems that I encountered were: 1) as others said, dont screw in the bed slats near the ladder end of the bed, until you attach the ladder / the slats will get in the way of the large screws. 2) The holes for the large frame and ladder screws were not deep enough and I had to drill the holes deeper to accept the full length of the screws (or maybe the end of the screw holes were tapered) In any case, I used a 13/64 drill bit that worked well and allowed the screw threads bite into the wood and could be screwed in all the way.
This bed looks really good but if you want perfect wood (with no filler) you need to spend 1000.
It was delivered in a 6 foot tall box that was very heavy. The packing is a miracle of engineering. Its hard to believe that everything fit into the box. I only noted one minor scuff on a wood post. The packing was impressive.
The directions are OK. A cordless drill or screw driver with the necessary tips will make the assembly easier / not necessarily faster, but easier. There are no extra screws or dowels so dont lose of damage anything.
I cant comment on the durability yet but I am impressed by the quality so far.
I like the look of the bed, and feel like it was a fair buy for the priceone of the pieces came damaged and now I have the hassle of trying to get a replacement piece. Guess that is one of the hards of buying online. The bed went together fairly well, I was disappointed in the slats being such rough wood. It would look much cleaner and also be safer for kids with nicely painted white wood slats. Overall its ok, it looks beautiful, and feels fairly sturdy.
My daughter desperately wanted a bunk bed for Christmas. We looked at the local kids bed store and left with the impression that we would need to spend 1,500 on a bed, and wait weeks for a truck to deliver it. It was with great skepticism that we ordered this one on for less than 300. How is that possible
We were not disappointed. It was delivered in 2 days. how is that even possible The box is long and very heavy. One person can roll and drag it, but you will need two to lift it anywhere. Assembly does take time and patience, but I cant see anything that can be improved. The assembly and quality are on par with anything you would buy from IKEA. Highly recommend you have two people for assembly and set aside three to four hours.
The ladder location is predetermined to be on the right, as pictured. However, that didnt stop me from moving it to the left. You do need to drill holes and accept a few imperfections, but it IS possible to move the ladder. You will need some basic carpentry skills to make this work.
Overall. very impressed with the entire experience. My daughter loves it! We did not experience any of the negative issues that others have reported. for example, none of the parts were scratched or damaged (we ordered white). The wood is solid wood. All of the holes were in perfect alignment. If you put a thin mattress and then have an adult press their knee into it, you will protrude into the slats. but this bed was not made for adults jumping on it. Just keep your expectations in line with the price and you wont be disappointed.
This bed has the potential for 5 stars, but there are a couple of issues.
First, I have taken pictures of each piece that has dents or scratches in them. There is at least 10 pieces like this and one has 2 big gauges in it. I cant afford to send it back and needed it bad for my daughter as her old bed was done for.
The setup was pretty easy and instructions were simple. It also seems sturdy but i would suggest buying a piece of plywood due to the slats being far apart and not many of them. Also it comes with two spacers to help place the slats, but the issue is the two spacers we got were different lengths.
Now being we just got it yesterdat, we will see how it holds up and will be getting plywood asap. Just very disappointed with the money spent and condition of some pieces.
Great bunk beds easy to assrmble, if that is what you are into, ( I personally love that kind of thing) there a strong smell from the paint, but that disappeared after 24 hours, very strong bed look great, so worth the money great bargain, would highly recommend
I like the design of this bed for a small space, and it was not too difficult to put together. The instructions were mostly pictures. It took us (2 adults) about an hour and a half. The bed feels sturdy. The wood and finish look nice, but seem delicate. The only toys my kids keep in their room are stuffed toys, but there are still a few dings and dents in the beds in the week since theyve been put up.
The pieces come covered in stickers to label what part they are to help with directions. A few of the stickers came off easily, but many have left sticky residue or layers of paper behind. Also, one of the headboards has a giant warning sticker on it that says it is not to be removed, and its definitely well stuck on. We have the bunk beds in a corner and were able to turn that piece of the headboard toward a wall so its not seen, but the sticker coverage is enough to warrant a downgrade in review. Its obnoxious!
SOME PARTS CAME DAMAGED. RETURNED EASILY AND PRICE IS GREAT FOR BOTH BEDS. IT LOOKS GOOD.
Fortunately, I ordered two by mistake and could take damaged pieces out of second bed and return.
The design of the bed is fine but unfortunately, this product is cheaply made. When we assembled it, the predrilled holes on the ladder split as soon as we tightened the screws. Having assembled lots of prefab furniture in the past, I can say with confidence that we did not over/tighten the screws. If it were not so cumbersome to return furniture bought on line, I would have sent it straight back. I now have to order replacement parts for the ladder. I would agree with other reviews that the order of assembly with the placement of the slats is counter/intiutive, so if you are not experienced with assembly, get something more intelligently designed.

Dented, gauged, but has potential.

You will not be disappointed.
Sturdy and goes together easily. Nice looking finish. It looks like a much more expensive bed.
