We bought this to use the bottom full as a bed for our son and the top twin as a couch/guest bed. That means, for us, the two pieces are separate.
Pros: Fairly easy to set up. Good instructions. Quality feels sturdy. No scratches or issues with shipment and even arrived a day early!
Cons: If you do choose to have this bed in two separate pieces, there are very visible holes on the head and footboards of the full bed. Of course this is to be expected, but Id think something to plug or cover them would be included since an advertised bonus of this bed is the ability to use them apart. There is also a VERY strong chemical smell to this bed initially. We had just painted (low VOC) and initially thought that was the odor until it occurred to us we hadnt smelled the paint until we put the bed together. Unless this is going to be an unused guest bed, I strongly suggest you allow the bed to un/gas before use. Im concerned that my three year old smelled these fumes all night. I ended up using essential oils in a diffuser to help grab some of the smell. It helped a bit but is still noticeable almost a week later.
