It took us 6 hours to put together and the instructions definitely need to be better. A few parts we put together in the beginning had to be taken apart towards the end to flip around.
Aside from the headache of putting it together, our 3 year old loves it.
Had to wait 2 more weeks to get a replacement part. Figured that the bent part was the main leg so I coulndn't build out the rest of the bed. But once it was in, the bed looks great and my 5yr old LOVES it. I wish I got it a year ago so that she was smaller and could play under the bed longer. She'll probably start bumping her head underneath in a year...maybe 2 at the most. But it's a great place for storage of toys. You have to assemble it carefully and make sure you understand some mechanics and physics to understand why and how to adjust screws. Does not work as well with carpet. The bottom drawer will hit the leg. I had to buy little slider pads at the dollar store to raise the bed by 1/4 . I used all 8 pads. If it's on hardwood or solid floor, their won't be a problem. It would work best if you put a flat plywood board over the slats to keep the mattress distubution even. But the center clamps will need to be removed. 4 inch mattress works best to keep maximum rails, so definitely need the plywood. If you use 6 in mattress, you should be ok to not put plywood down. Kids under 50 lb should be ok. But as they get heavier, they will feel the slats if you only have a 4 foam mattress (not topper). Don't use just a topper. It's not firm enough. I put lights under the bed. Feels quite secure. Wish it had foam/rubber door protectors to prevent slamming. Just got some myself and put it on. Daughter LOVES the bed and the stairs makes it a lot safer. In 3 years, if she still likes and and it hasn't fallen apart, I might put 6 bed lifters on it and get a step stool or put a box under the steps to give more height. Should be a pretty cool mod to do that.
This is great. Was missing a pole that goes under the mattress, but that is like one of 20. Not really a problem. The stair case took some time to get right and force the holes to line up a little more than expected. Happy with the purchase.
Let me start off by saying, this was the largest project I've ever put together by myself. It nearly killed me, but it was completed in about 4 hours with 1 break. The box was insanely heavy at over 100 lbs. There are SO many pieces to this, I nearly had a heart attack when I laid them all out. Make sure to be organised and that youre grabbing the right pieces. Some pieces may need pounded with a hammer; this was my biggest issue. You'd look at the slide in pieces and think Oh, thank God. An easy piece. Not so fast. So be prepared with a hammer. If my daughter hadn't been absolutely thrilled when she saw it, I would not have given as many stars. Assembly sucks, but the design itself was awesome.
There are just so many pieces and it's very overwhelming. It took me weeks to do because I work full time and a family. There are certain things the instructions dont tell you. Like the elbow looking bars, because its wood you need to unless the other attachments to make it more managable and then tighten again. Nonetheless, my child loved the end result.
The wood seems sturdy but the wooden storage steps are terrible. The holes did not line up and they took hours to put together!! Came with a ton of parts. Plan to spend at least 4-5 hours on it.
It went together just fine with the exception of the steps. They were quite difficult because the pilot holes for the brackets weren't started. They were simply dots of where to start the screw. As long as you can follow directions, you can put this bed together.
