I bought this bunk bed for kids, the heavy weight load that was promised in the description assured me that this would hold up to rambunctious kids that forget to be careful. That has not been the case. The assembly took time but I was able to handle it with minimal assistance from a child. The overall frame has performed admirably but the hollow bars that actually support the mattresses have not. We just took the time yesterday to hammer them all straight again after moving the bed to a new house. Again, the disassembly and reassembly went well, it was just the bars that frustrate me.
If you’ve managed to raise kids that can resist monkeying around on a metal bunk bed, or have teens or adults on the bed, you will likely be fine. Otherwise, plan to put down additional support.
Does not hold up to real kids’ monkeyshines
