So I found very few reviews on here about adults/college kids using these. I am splitting an apartment room with someone to save rent money and needed a metal and cheap bunk bed. I never thought I would connect the word cheap and bunk bed together since any mistake made could end badly. I looked up the specs on this bunk bed and found that it more than supports our weight. I am on the bottom bunk- I weigh 190lbs and am 58. My roommate is 120lbs and is 56. The bed holds up very strong. I know it can support much more weight both on the top and bottom.
Installation of this product was difficult. Alignment, tightening the screws, and TRYING to eliminate swaying were a huge headache. One of the mattress support bars was bent during shipping (there are over 30 of these small bars, so it didnt jeopardize the structural safety at all). And because of how its set up (full size mattress on bottom, twin on top), it shakes when my roommate tosses and turns. I am in no way afraid of the bed falling on me because of his weight and the obvious fact that if something is wrong, there are usually obvious warning signs. Nothing will ever just snap all at once and create a catastrophe. I would say though, that some people have anchored parts of the bunkbed to the side wall and/or ceiling to minimize as much sway as possible. I wish we could do this, but we cannot drill into the walls of our rental unit.
A couple things to keep in mind. Measure twice, assemble once. Read the instructions and dont do anything half-arsed. Also, if this is going to your college kids apartment or you are a college kid yourself, dont invite your girlfriend/boyfriend to spend the night. It will not be able to handle much stress and jostling. At least I wouldnt risk it. If this was a twin top/bottom or had a couple more supports, then Id say dont worry about it. If this was made of thick wood and had a lot more bolts in it, Id say go for it. But this product is strong as long as you use it to sleep on only.
We also had some issues installing the guardrails as the screw alignments were off. But we managed to screw in 3/4 screws on each side so that it was somewhat safer. This price is a steal. ALSO! Make sure you buy the full mattress sold by Dorel Home Products as well. It fits perfectly on the bottom bunk and feels extremely comfortable (for a spring mattress).
Not the best but its good enough for the price tag we bought for. It took us more than an hour to assemble it. Its shaky even though its leaning to the wall on 2 sides
It took 2 people and 2 1/2 hours to put together very sturdy. looks great The only issue would be steps are hard your feet We use water pipe tubing on steps, thats helps We will probably have to use two way tape or glue to secure the pipe tubing as it turns when you step on it
A terrific item overall! The bed arrived on time, and delivery was great. Everything came in one long box that wasnt terribly unwieldy but it was a bit heavy. All the pieces were in the box, not a single thing was damaged and assembly took about 2 1/2 hoursthere are a lot of pieces. Needed two pairs of hands for a few of the steps so my hubby had our daughter help himit was her bed after all!
Weve had the bed for about a month, and the kids absolutely love it. It truly is a great value, and the bed feels sturdy. I was afraid it would look tacky/cheap, but it doesnt at all. Its cute with just the right sheets on it. Parents are happy and so are the kids! A great buy that I would recommend!!
I ordered these to fit in a small guest room for extra sleeping space. I assembled them myself (one 60 year old woman) in a couple of hours with just a few mis-steps from the picture-only instructions from China. Not quite as heavy duty as I had hoped. When a full-size adult climbed the ladder to the top bunk, the bed felt as though it might try to pull over, but it did not lift off the ground. For the price, it is a great choice.
If they love it I have to love it too just gotta keep them from treating so much like a toy, they love this way more than I expected so I am really satisfied! The assembly was not to hard but have help one additional person will do But I think I could have done it alone alright just a little longer. Now the youngest 6 want to be in the room all the time, It is sturdy and secure. A great deal especially for the buck!!!

Good Enough for Price
Not the best but its good enough for the price tag we bought for. It took us more than an hour to assemble it. Its shaky even though its leaning to the wall on 2 sides
grandkids love it, we have used it too Very study on top bunk I weight 170lbs
It took 2 people and 2 1/2 hours to put together very sturdy. looks great The only issue would be steps are hard your feet We use water pipe tubing on steps, thats helps We will probably have to use two way tape or glue to secure the pipe tubing as it turns when you step on it
Very sturdy bed, clear instructions.
Bed is very well made and easy to put together. Instructions are very clear. This bed replaced the pull out style bed and saves quite a bit if space.
Met every expectation

Boys bunk
I thought this would be flimsy and noisy, FAR from flimsy and noisy! My boys love it, its strong and easy to assemble.
upper structure seems not so solid
the upper level seems not so solid when first lie on it. nevertheless the structure as a whole is quite reliable.
real space saver
