COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW with more than 25 pics. 5 stars - overall value, 5 stars - durability, smooth the corners..
For some reason, I dont show up as a verified purchase, though my many pics show I obviously did get one! I bought this on April 6 from , in fact.
I have A LOT of pics, which will really help you decide whether to buy... Here are my main points if you dont want the details (details are down below):
1. Service from company is AWESOME. There were a few screws that were missing, so they FedExed them all the way from Canada. Now thats service!
2. The bed is sturdy, and given its for a 5 year old that is 49 lbs, Im sure itll last at least until hes 10.
3. Its not an expensive bed with well rounded corners and rich wood, but at well under $200, its a solid value.
4. I dont like the sharp corners of the drawers, the panel part that protrudes from the bed, but I put 1/8 rubber bumpers on, so they wont hurt my kids if they bump into those panels.
Box: This item is very well insulated and had NO damage of any kind to any of the contents. Tons of foam and 2 layers of cardboard.
Build: The instructions are really good. Youll still need over an hour, but not 2 hours. Instructions are awesome and the items are labeled, so you know which piece is which, not just pics that you have to decipher
Quality of materials: This set is heavy, because the materials are very good for a particle board composition. This is not real wood so if you want a real wood set, this is not your product. But youll also pay double. The holes are perfectly aligned; the fit is really good, there were no dents or scratches; these guys are great manufacturers.
Drawer functionality: Very good, perfect alignment, I mean perfect. Plenty strong to hold a few pounds of clothes in each drawer.
Overall, my kid is very happy. Its solid and even if he jumps up and down, this thing aint gonna break. The boards that lay on top of the frame is 1/2 inch thick, which is not that thick, but the material is so heavy (dense), that I am comfortable standing on it with my 178 lbs.
Tips: Use the tool that is included in the box, which is used to fit right into the gliders, and you hit that part and not the glider itself, so your hammer doesnt dent or break the glider. Tip 2: Included is a small paint bottle, which you can use if you scratch the bed. That is a really nice touch.
I recommend, just watch out for those sharp corners (see pics!) and hopefully youll have as good an experience as I did. Where you see a corner that looks like it was slightly, just slightly damaged or scratched, I did that to make the corner less sharp. The product from the company had no flaws.
In care youre wondering, I received nothing in exchange for this review, not even a $1 off coupon. This is a real and honest review. Thanks for reading and see the pics!!
