This bunkbed that I have been researching for a couple of months before purchase had to
satisfy Five major requirements (1) Cost, (2) Durability, (3) ease of installation,
(4) be light and less bulk and (5) ease of portability (taking it apart and rebuilding).
This is for my daughters bedroom and with the small size of the space (approx. 12 x 11)
I did not want a monstrosity of a bunkbed unit that appears to occupy the entire room.
This product is light in appearance and makes a cramped space look spacious.
(1) COST, this product is a great bargain compared with the faux wood composite products
trying to imitate solid constructed wood furniture. I paid 248 for this piece and would
have paid more since other wood bunkbeds ranged from 450 to over 1,000.
(2) DURABILITY, this bed can sustain 250 to 300 pounds and with steel construction I do not
have to worry about the screws stripping and warping the wood weakening the strucutral
integrity of the bed whenthe kids are playing by climbing, swinging and rocking from it.
(3) EASE OF INSTALLATION, the instructions was clear and the only minor hiccup was the
80+ stiles secure attachment clips that was not expressed in the instructions. I put the
entire bed together alone in 4 hours and the stile attachment clips were easily attached
after the fact. Another installation tip, make sure the holes are line up to receive items
correctly or you will be unscrewing items often in your haste to complete the bed.
(4) LIGHTNESS/WEIGHTLESSNESS, the bed is ideal for smaller roomS because if allows air, wind
and sunlight to infiltrate the room making an compact room spacious.
(5) EASE OF PORTABILITY, I am confident due to the steel construction that I can take it
apart if I had to move it into another room or another home withOUT compromising the structure
of the bunkbed.
Final tip is be aware of having ceiling fans in the room with kids on the top bunk, especially
with low ceilings (9/10). This is a great product and we will be making another purchase
next year for our boys room. This is a cant miss!
Hope this helps Met my needs perfectly!
Great for even more Money!
