I bought 2 full over full moon bunk beds for a house we will be renting. It did take about a full day to assemble both, but they are made very well and correctly. I couldnt be happier with purchase. Only wish it had more than one USB . We were concerned to purchase and the need to deal with a bad situation, but this came from Canada and was exactly what it said it was. Just wanted to share Incase anyone needed some insight.
The bed is super sturdy and built like a tank. But it's very complicated to fix. Small miss and you maybe back to starting all over again. Instructions aren't very detailed or explained. And wish the supporting beams are stronger and more was provided for the bottom bed. Cannot defnetly recommend for any big adults sleeping on it.
I'd readily spend $100 more plus $30 shipping if they prebuilt the headboards, and slats on this bunk bed. It took me 4 hours to unpack and build the unit. I was able to build it by myself. The tolerances on some of the pocket holes for the barrel nut/bolt assemblies was not up to modern standards. I ended up drilling two of them out for better alignment and accidentally drilled through the one frame rail.
needs to hire an IKEA industrial designer or engineer to show them how knocked down furniture should be designed and assembled.
fell down by only shipping one box (box 1 of 2), then making me return that box so they could ship me the proper two boxes. The boxes weigh a ton, maybe that's why box 2 didn't show up the first time. did process my return and deliver the second bed box set in a rapid manner, and they picked up my return promptly - I just had to leave it on the front porch and be home when they picked it up. Not too much hassle.
The bed looks great. It's huge. I should have maybe gotten the twin instead of full, as the bed fills the room and the ceiling fan is really close to the upper bunk - I need a bigger house lol. Bed seems sturdy. I'm happy with the bed, though still need to get mattresses for it.
I bought a Thuma bed for 2x the cost that took me 5 mins to put together and will be easy to move. This double decker bed will take a day to disassemble when I move but maybe I'll forget how hard it was to assemble by then.
I would do the following design changes (I'm a designer btw, like for real):
1) connect all the slats like Thuma does with a fabric strap so we just lay them down and secure to bed
2) pre make the headboards in China or wherever it's made and ship assembled
3) eliminate styrofoam packaging, IKEA doesn't need styrofoam
4) enlarge hole for USB cord, was a pain to thread the plug through
5) make the bed easier for disassembly, no way will lower or upper half fit thru door when we move
6) barrel nuts and bolts need better tolerance, look at how IKEA joins components and emulate them
Overall it's a solid bed at a good price that we will likely enjoy/fits the bill. With some thoughtful improvements it could be a game changer.
Makes me want to design a better bunk bed.
The top bunk rail could be higher to make it safer for little ones that toss and turn at night. We got 9.5 mattresses. That leaves less than a 5 rail on the top bunk. I didnt think to check that till afterwards. I prob wouldve looked for thinner mattresses. It also takes away from the space between the beds. The lower person doesnt have much room for sitting up. Just takes some getting used to. My 3 yo banged her head really bad the first time in there….maybe she learned… but I do wish it had more space. Theres a ton of space under the bed that could have been utilized since theres no trundle or storage, although you can do your own storage but I see it as a waist of space when theyre so close together. Theres a few marks on the wood that are flawed like damaged spots (not enough to return the whole thing). All that and my husband had to take it apart and redo a couple things because of the directions lacking info.
It is solid and it is cheaper than most bunks so its still a good purchase.
The score for product would be higher if the customer service from the company wasnt horrible. However, The bed is very easy to put together and my kids love it. They say it is super comfy.
Nice bed. Screws made out of too soft of wood and strip easily so I had to go to the hardware store. Other than that, its an attractive bed and makes our spare bedroom ready for visiting grandkids!
Easy to assemble. I love how it turned out. My only complaint would be about the sturdiness. It's holding up so far but idk how long it will last. My husband said he's going to have to reinforce it a bit. Other than that I think it's a good bed for the price. I definitely recommend.
