UPDATE/
We have now owned this bed for 1.5 years, and today we disassembled it in preparation to haul it to the dump. The metal bars on the lower section completely bent into a big curve. My son who slept on the lower full size bed weighs 70 lb This should not have happened. Its not like it has been jumped on either, there is a twin bed above it and no room to jum This was an inexpensive bed, especially when you consider that its actually two beds, but if you have to spend 150 a year when they break or bend, then its not inexpensive afterall. We have already purchased solid wood beds to replace this pile of metal we are left with. Im attaching a photo of the bend, however, its much more pronounced and severe in person. I now take back everything I said in the review below
Our boys have been using this bunkbed for over a month now, and so far so goo We previously had a wooden bunk bed that did not hold up. This one seems much sturdier and the powder coated finish has yet to get any scratches or marks on it. (Which is a miracle considering the heavy use and abuse it gets from our boy)
We ran into a few issues while assembling/ a few pieces ended up being screwed on backwards due to slightly unclear instructions. We had to re/do them once we realized screw holes were not where they needed to be when we got further down the list during assembly. Also, you use one small (provided) Allen key for every screw. It was very time consuming, and we wished we wouldve had the proper drill bit needed instead of having to use the Allen key. Aside from the slow, somewhat frustrating assembly, we are extremely pleased with this bunk bed. Id definitely recommend it for anyone that needs a solid, sturdy, almost indestructible bed. (Especially for rough tough boys that seem to break/ destroy everything they touc)
Did not las Throwing away after 1 yea
