This is a fairly good looking Futon bunk bed. I chose this model because it uses square tubing for the frame instead of round. The top bunk is about 12 inches deep so could be used to store miscellaneous items with or without a mattress. This is what I use it for to store lots of boxes since there is not much room underneath the bottom bunk. Assembly is pretty straightforward but there are some errors in the assembly instructions. For example at the end of the manual it says you could lock the bottom in the bed position with the optional hook but in reality the hooks provided are not long enough. The quality of this frame is fair and I didnt have any missing parts or hardware. The hex wrench and hex screws are ok but you have to be careful not to strip the hex holes. Also dont over tighten the bolts because you risk rounding out said hex holes. This is important should you ever need to disassemble the bed in the future. The threaded holes in the frame pieces are fairly strong and do not strip easily since they are reinforced. Switching from couch to bed is not too difficult since the springs are low tension but you may have to put in more effort if using a thick Futon mattress since they are more difficult to fold. Overall Im quite happy with this bunk bed. The full size bottom Futon is very convenient and sometimes I just leave it in the couch position and sleep. I chose the Great find!!
Overall pleased with our purchase. I put most of this bed together alone because my helper was MIA. And other then two screws I was able to get it all done myself. They were kind of at a weird angle. For some reason I just didnt have enough strength so my brother in law did it when he showed up. It was bought for our two youngest sons but our 21 year old son and his buddy have been using it first for a few weeks. Its a little wobbly with their weight but nowhere near toppling over. There was one little rust stain which you dont really notice. I also had two pieces that I guess you use to lock the bed in the couch position or in the bed position which I couldnt get to lock in but we havent needed to use them as it stays whichever way we have it. This was definitely a good choice.
Giving it 4 stars because its a butt to put together. I started doing it and thought it was rather simple, until I realized that I had to pay a lot more attention to how the pieces went in. You have to visualize how it will face and place a hole a certain way. instead of the instructions just pointing out how it should go. My fault. My husband took over/ now he is mad and says not to order from this company again because the slats on the full bed are terrible to get in. Some are a little crooked on the end and he is getting tired of putting it together. That said, its tall and large
We originally had a smaller set of bunk beds from his sisters and they were teeny. My girls share a room and my 8 yr old, for years, hated the bottom bunk because her head would hit. They were short bunk beds. We bought these specifically because they are so tall! My girls are 8 and 3 and my 3 yr old gets scared at night, so now I can just lay down with her and we have plenty of room/ even if I have the baby in tow I think we will love the beds. If they ever get put together. I read reviews on how much ppl disliked the assembly part and now I understand why, as my husband bangs stuff around in the room/ lol
One more thing that I am nervous about is that when you climb up to get into the very high top bunk, you have to hike your leg over the railing. That seems a bit like a hard, you would think there would be a space in the railing to get up there. We shall see how it goes. At least we wont be claustrophobic with all of the height. Mattresses will be delivered tomorrow/ I will update when we sleep a night in them
Update: I slept with the kids the first night. No sqeeks, sleeps well. We bought foam mattresses for them/ you can put a thick, pillow to mattress and still have plenty of head room. My kids think the bed is a jungle gym/ lol
We were missing a few square clips that hold the slats in place/ I prob should contact them. Its a nice bed. Super tall it would be perfect for teens. Really tall. Almost dangerous tall. Dont over think it, youll love it!!
This is a really sturdy and well/made futon/bunk bed. It was easy to put together by myself; I think it would be even easier with some help. It took me about 3 hours to put it together, but I took my time, so your mileage may vary. Better than the picture!
Love the look of it. Very sturdy. My only complaint would be that the hardware is not of a great quality and is prone to striping out. Otherwise, a good buy. Love the finished product!!
This bed is very sturdy. My little girl is in the upper bunk (when she finally sleeps in her bed) and the bottom is used for guests. It does not squeak like my other one for my son. Concerned at first as it comes in pieces but really it is good. Really nice looking furniture.
The little gray snaps were a pain to put on originally, but the bed has held up well. The rungs of the ladder are more widely/spaced than usual, which may deter some young climbers (sadly not MY toddler). Four years later, weve disassembled the support for the bottom bunk, removed the front bar, and we are using it as loft storage over a desk for the little one. Happy with purchase

Glad we bought this!
Not too hard to put together. A tiny bit noisy when my son moves but not that bad. Worth the price! Really Happy!!
Looks nice and offers flexibility as well as convenience

Easy to assemble. Arrived on time. Sturdy and good quality. This is a cute design,
Like everyone said, annoying assembly/ super high top bunk
