The boxes 4 boxes arrived at different times and damaged. 1 box was barely together and 3 of the boxes were wet (1 was soaked). We contacted the company about the damaged boards the said they would be glad to replace the damaged boards but it was going to take a few months or we can return it for a refund. That would require to haul four 60 lbs boxes to return. I don't have a vehicle to carry all those at once so it would be multiple trips. I don't really have a place to store these boxes plus I would have to open all the boxes and have all the pieces lying around waiting for replacements. I ended up keeping them and had to repair the boards myself.
Well built bunk bed. Fairly easy to assemble as the instructions were good. Materials were decent quality. My son loves it but its a pain to make the bed.
As per the title: the both bed frames are larger than a standard twin (top bunk) and full (bottom bunk). More information and what I did as workarounds are below.
That said, pros:
- Sturdy. Very sturdy. It's going no where.
- Easy to assemble with clear directions and parts very well labeled
- Pro, but mostly opinion: attractive piece that looks more expensive than it was
Cons:
- Top bunk: standard twin size mattress is ~4 inches shorter than the frame, width close enough once bed was made (maybe 0.5-0.75 inch per side unmade)
- Bottom bunk: standard full mattress is ~2-3 inches narrower than frame on both sides, length fine
- Most of the build requires an Allen wrench which adds to time to build (and painful on the hands after awhile)
Neutral:
- Takes about 4 hours to assemble, which would be expected considering, but something to be aware of
- Did not have a strong smell as per some reviews
- Direction of bottom bunk can be flipped and is in directions how to do so
- Be aware all three windows for top bunk are the same height as the top rail and large, so potentially easy to fall out of if a child isn't careful/supervised
- Note this is a junior height loft, so clearance/head room for the full bed is limited
- Spacing between ladder rungs is relatively large
Additional notes:
- We used an existing 14 mattress with topper so head room is extremely limited. Based on experience, would suggest an 8, 10 maximum mattress for the bottom bunk
- Purchased a 6 memory foam mattress for the top, did not immediately notice any sagging between the slats which are 4 apart, but purchased a bunkie board for the top bunk for additional support (maybe not necessary, but the spacing is enough with a non-spring mattress for concern). Top bunk can easily accommodate an 8 mattress with plenty of safety railing left above it.
- To resolve lengthwise gap in top bunk, purchased a trianglular bed wedge (VEKKIA Twin Size Bed Wedge Pillow) and placed it point-down in the gap at the head of the mattress which closed the gap nicely
- To resolve the side gaps on the bottom bunk, determined space between corner supports of frame is 38 and filled gaps on each side with two bench cushions (one on each side). Purchased Klear Vu The Gripper Non-Slip Tufted Omega Universal Bench Cushion, 36 inch.
- Due to not having a headboard plus frame creating space between head of bed and wall for bottom bunk, purchased another bed wedge to fill in the gap
- Modifications with cushions and wedges cost an additional $140 plus $60 for the bunkie board, which is something to consider into the price. In retrospect, I may have chosen a different bed at that higher total price point to save the aggravation of the workarounds.
My child absolutely loves the bed and beyond having to solve for the length/width issues, I found the assembly a breeze and believe it to be a solid piece of furniture.
My husband and kids assembled this bed for our daughters, 7 and 13 years old. They enjoyed being able to help. You will need a second set of hands at parts of the build. The stain on the wood lets the grain show through beautifully.
Its definitely a softer wood though. I am slightly worried as the kids grow they might break through the boards under the bed or ladder. Especially my boys who dont know the meaning of caution. The frame is sturdy.
This product is amazing. Complicated piece of furniture so took a while to build, but overall, very easy considering all the parts. Very sturdy and seems high quality. The value you get for the price is tremendous.
Not as easy to assemble due to size but to be expected. Sturdy and as described. Adorable and has held up to my two boys. Great product, would buy again.
Love it! Twin infants sleep on bottom bunk and toddler up top! My older son just loves it. Very strong and sturdy and took a few hours of assembly. Worth every penny
Im very pleased with the quality of this bed. I was concerned since the bed was such a good price that it wouldnt be sturdy but it is.
Its an adorable style and my grandson loves his new bed
