This goes great in my toddlers room. She loves climbing on it, and it has held up well over the past 7/8 months that shes been using it. My one concern is that it does wiggle quite a bit when bigger kids try to get on the top bunk. This is great for littler kiddos, but might not be sturdy enough for older elementary or middle school children.
My main concern with this is the slats that hold up the mattress arent the greatest for kids over 100lbs, the bed only comes with 7 slats for the top and bottom each and bow relatively easy, so if you have kids upwards of 100lbs or over Id recommend going to a local hardware store and picking up a couple more for extra support, other than that its a very well rounded bunk bed, easy to put together although it took me about an hour and a half to put together with the tools it came with it was pretty quick and easy!
The package arrived good and the quality of the materials meet the expectation. Assembly took almost 3hrs. The slats are not sturdy enough for the adults to sleep in, but enough for the children (few more number of slats would have been good or more sturdier slats).
My husband and I were super impressed with the quality of this brand for the price. It came with wooden dolls and spacers for the planks, which had my husband in awe. Definitely more than satisfied.
We ordered these for our lake house. I mean, how can you be at a cabin and not have bunk beds for kids and grandkids? I looked everywhere and researched everything. I couldnt possibly pay thousands of dollars for good quality beds. And everything else had these ugly fake/brass/looking fasteners that stood out like a sore thumb. Enter . These are great. The blue is just as you see in the picture. And the fasteners yup they are blue too. These beds are sturdy and seem to be holding up to our 3 boys just fine.
The wood are broken in assembly you cant secure it tied because its weak, it makes a lot of noise if I have choice I would have returned it the quality its bad for a twin bed for young kids
The instructions were poor and led to my friend and I having to redo a couple steps. Actually I think we got one wrong/mislabeled piece as well but it made a small cosmetic difference and I didnt want to wait for a replacement.
The smell isnt as strong as I feared from these comments. Certainly didnt give anybody a headache but it does smell like paint a little bit. Someone said it was composite instead of solid but I can literally see the wood grain (subtly) under the paint. I started to worry some of you were getting knock offs by how much the reviews varied, so I made sure to order directly from the seller and Im happy I did.
I wish the bed was taller but really only Pottery Barn sold taller beds. With a normal ten inch mattress at the bottom bunk, an adult cannot sit under the top bunk. I didnt want to replace the mattress I already have but if youre buying new mattresses I think a little thinner would be better. We bought a tuft and needle nod 8 mattress for the top bunk. That works pretty well and also comes in 6 which would give you more head clearance on the bottom. This is another plus to a twin over full vs full over full: parent can still sit comfortably on the edge of the bed to tuck in the littles.
As many reviews have said, the bed slats are way too far apart. For the bottom I put in the slats from the bed I replaced, but I will need a bunky board or more slats for the top bunk. While it may be supportive enough as is its hard to make the bed without sheets etc hanging down over the bottom bunk as three isnt a good place to tuck them in with only sparsely spaced slats.
All in all I am satisfied with my purchase. The price was reasonable, delivery was quick, and the assembly is not too hard with a friend. My kids are so happy and, assuming it stays intact, they will get many years of use out of the beds. Bonus that I can theoretically separate it into two beds at the end, which is just a matter of lifting the top bunk off and putting it down.
Anyway, I hope this helps if youre on the fence.
I did a ton of research when purchasing a bunk bed and ended up with this one for my 7 and 2 year old boys. I chose this one because of the high weight capacity on the top bunk and the height of the top bunk (we can sit on the bottom bunk with plenty of head clearance). We also liked that we could get a separate standalone twin bed frame from the same company that matched for when our youngest son moves into the room. The bed has held up well over the past year. Its definitely been jumped and climbed on by the boys and its been fine. It does wobble a little more than I like and the ladder is a challenge for an adult to climb up, which is why I gave 4 stars. Overall Im still happy with this purchase. My father is a very experienced woodworker and he complimented the beds construction after he put it together. I think this is the best bunk bed option at this price point.

Great for kids, wish it was a bit more sturdy

Read the instruction carefully before assembly. Otherwise good quality for the price.

IMPRESSED

Just Got It
I have taken out all the parts and organized in order to inspect them. Will update on how assembly goes.
Love these!

My kids are excited about it. My husband and I used half day for assembling, not difficult.
