This is for the Triple Bunk Bed Model
The triple bunk bed comes as a kit in two separate boxes. One box is the twin bunk beds and the additional bunk is your middle bunk to make 3 bunks.
1) When UPS delivered the boxes to my house, the boxes looked like they had been dropped from a C130 Cargo Aircraft at 10,000 feet of altitude. The boxes had seen better days. Then somewhere along the line, a ton of clear packing tape was applied to try and hold things together. Not looking too good at this point
2) After unboxing the pieces and verifying what I had, it became clear that I only had instructions for the double bunk, not the triple. I was also missing a ladder step and had a severely cracked headboard piece. Plus I had some unidentified tool with misc pieces that had nothing to do with the bunk beds.
3) Because I had instructions for the double bunks, I assembled those pieces pretty straight forward. Not difficult at all, just a little time consuming. The additional bunk to make the triple did not have instructions. But if you are halfway handy and by doing the double bunk first, the layout was pretty close and I was able to figure it out. Jist make sure your ladder holes line up, you can assemble the bed backwards and the ladders wont attach, be mindful of that.
4) Once assembled, its pretty sturdy and looks great. One caveat I would mention is the mattress size. 10 thick twin mattresses put you will little railing protection. If your twin mattresses are 7 thick you shouldnt have any worries. I have 10 mattresses so I changed the support boards for the mattresses from vertical to horizontal. That gave me about 2/3 extra for railing protection. Something to be mindful of.
Overall, when assembled its a good bunk and my kids love it. Just poorly delivered with missing instructions and pieces along with a broke piece. Had that not been the case, I probably would have gave 5 stars. Considering returning
Great triple Bunk, Poor Packaging
