The screws supplied for the two little vertical bars that tie together the middle of the safety rails on the top bunk are too short. I had to buy 8 x 1/1/2 inch screws to properly fasten those two parts. See picture.
The Allen/hex key that comes with the kit is rubbish and started to strip out some of the screw heads. Fortunately I had a proper 3mm one that saved the day.
The wood had one saw mark and some other dings and scratches. I was mostly able to hide these imperfections by making those pieces face the wall. I recommend the plain unstained/natural look because these imperfections are less noticeable.
In my opinion, the beds need more cross s to support the mattress. They didnt break, but the mattress did sag between s. So I bought more for about 50 from the Wood to the World store on , product title Bed s Solid Pine Wood s Twin Bed Mattress Support Wooden s 39 in Long x 2.75 in Wide x 0.65 in Depth Pack of 13 Count Single Bed Replacement Parts Custom Size Cutting Service (Twin 39 in). They look identical and came with screws. I probably could have used shorter than 39 inch s, but I got them a little long and cut them myself.
Great with some tweaks: Needs more s
