Picked this bed up for my 8 year old son last year (Christmas 2018) / He is still using the bed a year later and generally no complaints. It was easy to assemble, and has held up well to the wear, tear, and abuse of an 8 year old, his younger 6 year old brother, and his friends. My wife initially was concerned because its a bunk bed, however that wore of pretty quickly. My one relatively minor complaint is when I, as a 40s aged dad, need to get onto the top bunk to put on a new mattress sheet, I can feel the center of gravity of the whole thing start to think about tilting. I am around 200 lbs so for the kids it is definitely not an issue, however Id be leery of, say, 4 active boys having a slumber party all horsing around up there without reinforcing this to the wall, but thats maybe an extreme case. For the cost, and material quality, its held up just fine. We will keep this bed for a few more years for sure.
We bought this as a Christmas gift and waited to assemble closer to Christmas Day. The boards were fine, instructions good, but the fasteners were sub par. I spent an hour in the shop straightening bolts and fixing threads. Luckily I have the tools to do so. No extra hardware supplied. I feel like I should have inspected sooner.
We also took an extra step and added glue for each dowel. The bed is solid. Im sure periodically tightening bolts is in my future.
There should be a foldable plywood panel to lay across the mattress s, too. Thats not supplied so expect to buy n cut a panel to support the mattress of choice.
The only reason I didnt give these beds 5 stars is that they have a pretty strong chemical (not new wood) smell at first. Now that theyve been in place a month or so, its finally calmed down. We like everything else about them!
Great sturdy bed, but it is not easy to put together because the instructions are not very clear to someone who does not frequently put things together. The bed dents and scratches very easily and the s that the mattresses sit on would be a complete pain to screw in because theyre super short for the length of the bed frame. This takes the longest. Also, if you dont own power tools, please make sure you either have them or have someone around who has them to put this bed together. This is definitely a TWO person job. I wouldnt attempt it alone. Makes it so much easier. Overall my kiddos love their bed.
The bed is definitely more of a cream than white, but it is very sturdy and its easy for my 3 year old to get up and down. We had a bit of trouble getting some of the screws in, but managed to get it done without damaging the bed or anything.
Nice looking, but whoa, around 100 plus pieces to put together and absolutely requires two people to assemble. Once done, its very attractive, but thats after you take out every piece, struggle with the vague directions, and have to drill an extra hole or two around three hours later.
This is everything we expected. Its a gorgeous piece of furniture. The only thing holding me back from 5 stars is that it has varnish scent. Weve had this for several months and the smell isnt so strong, but its still there. Otherwise, its truly a great piece of furniture. Im very sensitive to smells, so I may be pickier than most
