Good looking and fun product, but some design flaws that could result in a broken bed
I like this bed, it’s the perfect height for my 7 year old and its fairly easy to assemble, but I’m not sure that it’s sturdy enough. We all know as moms that crawling up on a bunk bed to put on a sheet isn’t fun, but it’s even worse when the stairs to walk up are very fragile, feels like they could break from slight pressure, and the same could be said for the guard rail on the bed. I know the guard rail is there to keep the child from rolling out of bed, but a young child is naturally going to want to hang from that piece like a jungle gym, that’s what kids do. He mostly uses it to pull him self up on the bed from the slide part. I keep telling him to be extremely gentle on it because it has two small pieces of wood on either side holding it on that could snap off with minimal roughhousing. I don’t like that about this product especially seeing as they don’t have replacement pieces. It’s a bit sketchy. When I imagine the old bunk beds I had as a kid, they were tough thick sturdy made and this really does not compare to that. I don’t regret buying it, because he loves it, but there are pretty significant design flaws especially if you have very active children.
