Perfect for visiting grandkids / excellent instructions
Very happy to have found this petite bunkbed option for my visiting grandkids, who are all under 12. Needed a smaller footprint due to space (changing up my bedroom office so the beds needed fit with my L/shaped desk in same room). Was pleasantly surprised at how easy to follow the directions were, and I was able to assemble the beds myself at 60+. Having said that, I had to use a prop when assembling the sides / the metal frame is heavy and I had no one to hold up the other end when inserting the screws on the first end, so propped up the end of the sides on the other end until I could get screws installed in all four corners. Once past that, the rest was just step by step, a bit tedious because there are many small parts, but again, all was clearly marked, so just read through once, then take you time. Be sure to position the poles, sides and rails exactly as shown in the instructions, or you will get it wrong (happened to me). Once I learned to check carefully as I went, all went smoothly. Another plus is that extra parts are supplied (I ended up needing one). Other reviews comment on the small size, but for my needs, this was perfect, and the shorter height will easily accommodate us tucking them in at night (for older kids I would probably recommend larger, taller bunk beds). Showed the grandkids a picture and they are now very excited and will have to flip a coin for who goes on top first! Highly recommend
