First, let me say that this is real wood, and it is a SOFT wood, subject to dings and scratches. My two year old was helping me and my husband put this together with his little pretend screwdriver and wooden wrench, and made some dings on the wood... oh well.
Secondly, the allen wrench that comes with this set is horrid. Get yourself a better one to build this bed before you get too far. Makes all the difference.
Besides these things, I LOVE THIS BED. Sturdy, beautiful, and easy to put together if you follow the instructions.
The instructions specifically state using a 6 inch mattress for both beds.
Great bed!
We visit my parents a couple of times a year and use this bed as a set up and take down. Very sturdy and solid. We replaced it with a metal bunk bed that we mistakenly bought last year. Always go with wood! Very pleased and our son and daughter were able to share a room and sleep soundly for a couple of weeks, no problems nor complaints.
I bought these bunk beds for less than 300$, and I am surprised with the quality of the wood (really beautiful wood, which I didnt expect), the screws, and even the packaging. The instructions are really clear, with drawings and text help, and all the different screws were in a separate little department. ALL the parts had a little tag with its part number, so it is really easy to assemble the thing, and to use the correct screw each time, you just cant do it wrong.
The beds look really nice, and are really sturdy, when you climb to the top you dont feel that shaggy-bunkbed type of thing.
Overall, this is one of the products that have surprised me the most, I love it and would absolutely recommend it. The manufacturer really tries to deliver a perfect product.
Five stars.
These bunks arrived before the estimated time. The instructions were very easy to follow and all the parts were there. I did see a few areas where the wood had been damaged by shipping. I was able to strategically place those so they are not noticable at all. My son loves them. They are very handsome and sturdy bunk beds.
Received the bed yesterday and put it together this morning. Packaging was excellent with no damage to parts. Assembly took about 3 hours with the help of my son and daughter. The instructions were excellent and we did not have any issues with putting the bed together. The quality of parts and the final product were better than expected, this bed easily compares to the 500-600 dollar beds I saw at the furniture stores. I still cannot believe I could get this great a deal from and free shipping to boot. My daughters are absolutely delighted.
I was skeptical about this bed after reading some reviews. I even tried to cancel my order after reading some about them smelling like fumes. Somehow my browser wouldnt send the info so the order came anyway. Im really glad it did. There was no smell at all coming from the pieces. Everything was there though a couple pieces were broken in shipping. I called and the company rep was very helpful. My only complaint is that it took them 4 days to ship and 7 days total before I could put the bed together. Beyond that, the bed looks great and its solid. My kids love it. For the money I cant imagine better bunk beds. I highly recommend this item especially for those on a budget.
I ordered this item based on the positive reviews and it was shipped for free via Prime.
When i received it, I was very hesitant, and seriously considered sending it back...the box it came in didnt look like much and I had serious second thoughts....
However, once i opened the box and started assembling it, my confidence quickly grew.
This item is easily assembled, sturdy as any bunk bed ive ever seen and the overall quality is very good.
Needless to say, Im pleasantly surprised and happy with this purchase.
If you are looking for an economical bunk bed, buy this one...you wont be disappointed.
Great bed for the price, I was really impressed. Not too hard to put together, it did take some elbow grease, and a couple hours, but following the instructions carefully and it was pretty much step by step. I read some reviews where people had done things, so the ladder didnt line up - I didnt have that problem, you just have to follow the instructions carefully.
Its very sturdy, nice looking, and all around a great edition to our sons room.
One note: careful to buy thin mattresses, 6 or so. We had bought thicker ones, because they last longer, but on the top bunk, the about as tall as the rail guard, rendering it useless, and dangerous. So we had to go back and get thinner mattresses. Not the beds fault though, it even says on a sticker on the bed use with 6 mattresses.
If it lasts a couple years, with no issues, definitely 5 stars.
Update 1/15/2014: I had to update this. This is a great bed, very sturdy, looks good, and we havent had any issues with it. Getting the thinner mattress on top really did help, it was pretty much unusable at first, and now its just fine, our son sleeps up there. The bottom bunk is a little high because have the thick mattress, but thats our fault. The bed has been great!
My first review.
I feel passionately that this is best bunk bed set out there. At least for the money.
Pros:
Best value!!!
Solid wood
Sturdy
Looks nice
Well designed
Feel it will last
Fast deliver
Cos
Heavy box/takes a while to put together
Some minor painting/wood non-conformity.
The lower end bunk bed sets look cheap, not sturdy. Dont buy. Higher end sets may be nice but expensive($500-$800+). This set delivers, esp. at price ($200-300 range, best buy)!
I purchased 2 sets if these beds for a beach house bunk room for the kids their cousins. They look great and pushed together in a t shape they make a giant fort for the kids. the kids love them. The beds arrived on time, without damage. Assembly was easy, but it did take time. I definitely recommend having a drill on hand. Assembly with just the wrench provided would have for an unpleasant experience. The beds did not smell. I slept in a bottom bunk one night and the bed was sturdy. There were lots of slats provided.
