When researching for a low bunk bed, I wanted one with stairs so my child could be safer while climbing rather than using a ladder. Though this bunk bed was on the more expensive side, I took a chance even with all the bad reviews saying its hard to put together and some parts came damaged. After receiving the bunk bed and putting to together, I would agree that many reviews here are truthful. There are no words to help with the instructions, but if youre detailed oriented, its not hard to follow. The hardest part of the install is when you need to not tighten the screws all the way, the manual says 80 tightened, but really it should be 50 tightened or you risk scratching your bed posts with the wood inserts. Other than that, the wood pieces come not perfect and there are scratches and dents here and there. But overall it is sturdy enough for a child, though I would not try to sleep on the top bunk as an adult. I am satisfied overall, and it is a cool bed so I still gave it 5 stars if you can overlook that instructions are not the best and wood is not perfect. Buy it if you are looking for a low bunk bed with stairs. We all love it!
Works as designed, but not perfect.
