Generally, we like this bed very much. It is as pictured, so no big surprises. Areas for improvement include:
/ more easily being able to install the slide on either side (switch the slide and ladder positions more easily Id wrongly assumed they would be interchangable).
/ curving the metal at the corners and edges of the bed (similar to the way the slides guard rail is curved)
/ increasing the length of the slides guardrail (theres a good 6/8 inch gap between the bed and rail and my 6 year old is a little too scared to use it by himself since its difficult to reach down and hold it. Though if you have a braver kid than me, that wont be a problem!)
/ include some sort of plastic or rubber washer with the screws (the bed squeaks quite a bit whenever you move around in it).
/ use thicker metal for the ladder steps (the steps are so thin that I personally find it a little uncomfortable using them)
Some things that have worked out well:
/ it was pretty easy to build
/ its elevated enough that we could put storage shelves underneath
/ its not so high to be scary for the kiddo
/ the guard rail (or roll rail) on the bed is there and does its job
/ its weight capacity can hold me and my kid so we can snuggle together
Overall, Im glad we bought this bed.
She absolutely loves it. Gets to slide out of bed in the morning. Maybe we all wold enjoy getting out of bed in the morning if we could slide out! It looks nice
This is a cute bed! I worry about my son falling off though, I thought the railing would be high enough so Ill have to order a bed guard. But its very fun and he loves it! I Would definitely buy again
Its okay. but I was surprised at how heavy the boxes were, due to the weight of the slide. They must have trouble with their packaging, because I bought for the girls, and both arrived dented and needed some tlc to make work. The alternative was to pay out of pocket shipping costs, plus restocking fee, which I calculated at about a 90 refund. The length from the slide to the back of the bed is 8ft, very long to two kids sharing a room. The beds themselves were fairly easy to put together, but shorter than a standard bunk. The space underneath is too short for even a drawing desk for the kids, but could fit a toy trunk if you had one.
As I finally put the beds together, I learned that parts were missing, and one slide is so bent at the attachment portion, Ill have to get creative on how to pry it open to use. I wish Id paid more attention to the dimensions and compared those more rather than just number of stars rated.

My kid and I like the bed, but there is some room for improvement.

Great price
This is a very nice bed for the price. It was a little difficult to assemble.
Love it!
Bought this for my kiddo and they love it!
Grandson loves it
Easy assembling
Fun times !
Love the bed and product. Minor quality issues (some rust and red dust on outside) but definitely sturdy. Easy to build with two people.
Happy
Nice bed
Recommend
Finally broke the co/sleeping habit with my 5 year old with this bed! Very sturdy I can go down the slide too not just the kids.
