The overall look of this bed is nice and while the outer frame seems sturdy enough, nearly every single slat has a knot in it. Knots create damage within the wood which causes instability. We have had 2 slats snap within the first 10 hours of having this bed. Luckily my kids were head to feet on the beds, had they been head over head this could have been a far worse situation. This bed is dangerous and should never be sold like this. When I reached out to the co. they said that they have had issues in the past with slats having knots and snapping but told me that they should be checked for this before going out to consumers. This company is negligent and has little concern for the safety of their products knowing that this is an issue and continuing to sell beds in this condition. In addition to the safety issue this bed arrived severely damaged (see photos above) there were deep cuts and scratched throughout the frame (the ones pictured are not even the worst of it.) Dealing with customer service now to figure out what to do next since we already got rid of my kids other beds - what a disaster. Do I recommend this product, absolutely not.
Good quality for the price. Seems very sturdy. Came undamaged with all the pieces and directions. Putting it together was a monumental task. Its like a giant puzzle with a million pieces. You will be building every single part of this, you have to build all the headboards and footboards. There are two different size slats and if you make a mistake you will have to take it apart and start over. I read and reread the directions and triple checked my parts before beginning and I still messed up and had to take my first headboard apart. Once I got one headboard together though the going was much easier. Dont use wood glue, I thought Id do my own thing and use wood glue and it was just super messy. When putting the slats into the headboards you put this piece of styrofoam in first to help the slat stay in place. This made no sense to me and I didnt want to do it. You have to do it. I ended up putting the little styrofoam piece all the way over to one side and pushing the slat into place by squishing it over with the slat. Im not sure if that is how you are supposed to do it as the directions offered no advice on this step. When you get to this step it will make sense. Another sort of mistake I made was using a cordless drill instead of the allen wrench. My husband was out of town so I built this beast on my own. I found a drill bit that worked but wasnt exactly perfect. I ended up drilling a few in too tight and stripping a few that are a bit stuck. We will likely never be able to take this thing apart, nor would I want to. SO much work. This bed is a great budget option and will get the job done but boy do I wish I could have gone to a furniture store and bought a $1,200 bunk bed that came pre made lol.
Careful while assembling that you dont strip out any of your bolt heads, but aside from that this bed is sturdy, great-looking, and my kids love it.
The retaining screws for the leaning ladder are easy to pull out, so a revision Id suggest would be a through-bolt drilled all the way through the bracket and the ladder.

Low and Sturdy
Perfect for my boys and was fairly easy to assemble. Perfect for their small room made lots of space!
Great for our grandkids
Very sturdy
Sturdy and great value.
Great buy.
A little spendy for what it is..decent construction
Not a bad bed. Seems solid right now. A little spendy for what it is..I mean it is just a kids bed but went together smoothly.
DANGEROUS BED - 2 broken slats on top bunk within the first 8 hours

Great Value for the Money
My kids love it..a good addition to a kids bedroom.
A handsome piece of furniture, and functional too!

Great bed for the money!
