Nice Finish / Sturdy / Reasonably Easy to Assemble
Excellent value for money I gave this bunk bed five stars, because I couldnt give it 4.5 stars, which is how I would rate it. While it has strengths, there is room for improvement.
PROS
Solid wood / no particle board / stable and sturdy
The finish is nice / smooth -- unlike one reviewers observation where their bed had a knot in a piece of the wood, mine had no knots, which I would knot have liked
All the screws and screw holes and dowels lined up well in the entire installation / I did not have to drill any new holes myself
The directions are relatively easy to follow / are correct
The color is a fairly true white (not a dingy or yellowish white)
The bed is relatively attractive, aside from a few things I mention below
CONS
Two pieces of the set arrived with minor blemishes where the wood expanded and slight cracks appeared in the painted finish (I am being picky)
Once assembled, my set (twin over full) showed a few extra screw holes that are not needed that are unattractive -- they are just holes in the finish
The screws and the brackets that hold the ladder to the bed have a brassy tinge to them, whereas I would have preferred plain silver screws, and would have preferred stainless screws even more
The manufacturer needs to include touch-up paint for any blemishes the set might arrive with, as well as those occurring afterward; I chose to fill the extra screw holes, and will paint over them, but now I have to find a paint that matches the white and which is similar in the satin-type finish
