Ordered this twin bed w/ trundle for a small bedroom. Here is a breakdown of my thoughts...
EDIT in MAR 2021:
So I tested positive for COVID-19. I did not want my wife to get infected, so I moved into this bedroom (which doubles as my work-from home-office) for 2 weeks. I have to say, this bed is very comfortable! I slept very well during the time that I was in there. And the wife did not get the Rona, so all good!
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
Quality of material: 4.5/5 stars - Its not hardwood, but I knew that when I purchased it. All the pieces were in good shape except for one small ding on the underside of one board. Its small and not going to be visible, so no big deal. We like the finish. Its a good color to match how we are going to finish the room.
Sturdiness: 5/5 stars - I realized when putting this bed together that it is meant to stay together once assembled. For example: The sideboards are bolted into the headboard, not set down in a slot. Also, each slat the mattress sits on is secured with a screw at each end. This also applies to the center bar running the length of the bed. It will require some time to take apart if/when we move it out of the room. On the other hand, there is no rattle, and it feels quite solid to an adult average-sized male. I am happy to sacrifice some portability for sturdiness.
Aesthetics: 4.5/5 stars - As I mentioned, we like the finish. I may end up staining the slats to match the rest of the finished wood. It will be less noticeable in the corners. Of course, putting bedding on will help, but I may do it anyway. If I do, I will update. Also, the visible part of the trundle bed when pushed in looks good in my opinion because it blends in well. Good design on that. Incidentally, the mattress in the picture is a
Bed Good! Instructions Bad!
