Were currently using just the top bunk as a toddler big kid bed. The bottom bunk is in storage for a later time.
Its a beautiful bed. We paired it with a 6 mattress to take advantage of the high sides, so our toddler wont roll out. Where it fails us is the slats. After two weeks of use, during which the bed was really creaky and the slats sounded like they were grinding, we decided to replace the slats with more solid wood from the hardware store. Upon removing the mattress, we found the slats really warped and even a few small cracks. At no time was more than 210 lbs ever on the bed (between a 30 lb child and a parent between 140/180 lbs). I believe the weight max is 250 lbs. I would not have been comfortable using this as a top bunk. After spending 200+ on wood to replace the slats, the bed no longer creaks and feels solid. I love it now and feel good after eventually lofting it, but we did have to invest more funds into getting it that way.
In case youre also thinking of this as a toddler bed: The bed is a tad high for our almost/3/year/old to get into on his own, so I paired it with the Kidkraft white wood step stool. It matches so closely that it looks part of a set. however I would not recommend anyone buy this.
Beautiful, but needed upgrade
