Great quality bed and looks great! it was also very easy to assemble. Both of my boys really like it. They are 9yrs and 5yrs old. We had it set up as a bunk bed but they have decided to separate rooms now so what is cool is that we can take the top bed off and it can now serve as its own bed in a separate room. We arent stuck with a bunk bed forever, that is a great feature of this item,
I purchased the Graphite version of this bunk bed and wanted to share my experiences, good and bad.
The negatives:
First, Ive never purchased a product that has smelled this bad for so long. Perhaps other colors dont have this problem. I put this together three weeks ago, and my sons room still smells because of the bed. I wish it were warm enough to open the windows. Second, putting this together was no joy. I wouldnt say its complicated, but it takes time (a lot of time, for me with kids helping/distracting, it was the better part of a day), patience, and most definitely two people for various steps of the process. Nearly all the parts go together with an Allen wrench thats included. Thanks to that little guy, my index fingers and thumbs hurt for three days. Third, I purchased 5 memory foam mattresses for both bunks. After spending 10 minutes in the full bed reading with my kids, I could feel the slats through the mattress. For children I doubt its an issue. But as an adult, I could never sleep in this bed in its current condition. You must either purchase a different mattress, or purchase and install a solid base or additional different slats.
The positives:
The bed is sturdy and well built. I dont have any concerns about my kids sleeping in this bunk bed. They have no issues getting in and out of the bed or with using the ladder. The bed looks great. The graphite is a nice color, and a welcome change if you are tired of furniture that is either white or espresso. For this price, I think the bunk bed is a great value.
My daughter loves it! It was easy to put together. BUT I do not recommend doing it alone. Im a single mom and I didnt think I needed any help. I mean, Ive put things together by myself before, so a bunk bed? Easy peasy! Yeaahh, I woke up the next day to sore muscles, back pains, and somewhat sore, swollen fingers from the L wrench that came with it. I had no trouble following the directions but when it was time to assemble the top bunk, that was the real challenge, trying to keep all the top heavy pieces together using my head and shoulders while screwing and tightening every bolt and screw. Took me 4 hours to put it all together. It was worth it, though. My 4 year old daughter slept in it that very night, and I finally had my bed back / not that it matters, I usually pass out on the couch.
I liked the bed once put together but there are some flaws with it scratches took one picture as shown, one of the boards did not have a hole so I had to go buy a drill bit and do it myself other than that I mostly put it together by myself in 4 hours had to have help attaching the top bunk to bottom
Pros: Beautiful bed once assembled.
Cons: Very difficult to assemble due to misaligned holes and missing parts. I had to order more wooden dowels because I ran out at the end while assembling the ladder. Wanted to love this product but it came with a lot of frustration!
Great quality and sturdy!! Some issues with bolts with faulty threading, but nothing you cant get from a local hardware store and it was only one or two out of the entire bunch. Easy to follow instructions, clearly labeled pieces, i made this by myself!! (single mom with tools!)
My daughter loves her bed. Took my husband about a half a day to put it together and its pretty sturdy I do worry about my daughter jumping around on it and being roughy and how it will hold up but so far so good and you cant beat the price

Looks Great, easy to assemble
Easy to put together, looks great. The strapping boards that support the mattress are flimsy. Will have to support with additional lumber.
Nice bed, difficult assembly.
Pros: Beautiful bed once assembled. Cons: Very difficult to assemble due to misaligned holes and missing parts. I had to order more wooden dowels because I ran out at the end while assembling the ladder. Wanted to love this product but it came with a lot of frustration!
Other than that its really sturdy and it looks good
1 screw didnt aline with steel coupling. Other than that its really sturdy and it looks good.
