Firstly, my son is 5 and is very happy with the bunk bed. Its a nice color and seems relatively sturdy. That being said, the drawers are very small. I was hoping to not need an additional dresser since his room is so small, but its a challenge to put all of his clothing away in the drawers. I would definitely say it wont hold the clothing of two children. Also, the pieces are all separate and dont screw together or anything. The entire bottom piece with the three drawers moves around and slides on the floor when you are simply opening or closing the drawers. Ive been asking my husband to just add a screw or something to keep it still so you dont have to pry it out from under the bed every time you use the drawers. Its very annoying. Also, the drawers on the side are wonky. They tend to get crooked or not close correctly. Might need to remove and reinstall the track properly. Lastly, dont assume an adult will be able to sit comfortably on the bottom bunk. My intention was to be able to read bedtime stories on the bottom bunk together but its so short you need to sit on your mid back to fit in there. Its fine for a kid. But still very short. My son has hit his head on the slats several times. The QA section has a lot of people saying the slats are rods but we received super cheap wooden slats that are rough and jagged, and exposed to the bottom bunk, leading to splinters and hair being caught on it repeatedly. If the company sends me these supposedly sturdier slats Id be thrilled. I bought a slats cover but havent added it yet to say if it fits or helps. The loosely fitting together pieces and rough wood in the sleeping area are my biggest issues with the bed. Like most people, Im thoroughly weary of poorly thought out and cut corners in the name of affordability.
Good basic bunk bed, could use some modifications
