I was looking for a low bunk bed for my three year old and 8 month old (small I know, but shes on the bottom bed). But I also wanted something fun that my son would enjoy. Upon searching, I came across this bed and man am I happy I did! The assembly did take some time, my husband and I worked on it together and it took about 1.5 hours. I was a little skeptical due to the reviews about it being a bit flimsy or not sturdy enough, or that the wood slats were too wide. If youre skeptical about it, dont be! The top bunk has a metal bar that runs across the middle under the wood slats to provide extra stability. As far as flimsy/not sturdy enough, if you use a drill, that wont be a problem! We tightened and drilled until it was as tight as we can go and it seems perfect! It will definitely hold up! My only downside is that, like other say, the slide is a bit steep. However, Im beyond happy with my purchase and so is my son! Its definitely a space saver.
