Bed looks nice, seems sturdy enough. I was worried about the slats being too far apart, but the metal bar stabilizes everything well. Had some cracked wood in the headboards and footboards, but fortunately not where it shows or creates a usability problem. Has a strong paint smell so you might give it a few days to air before anyone sleeps in a room with it. Could have used more hole caps for the many exposed screw holes. There were about half a dozen, I think, but you need about 2 dozen for all the exposed holes.
Heres my biggest complaint, and I know its sounds trivial but turning out to not be trivial. Theres a large 3x12 ugly warning sticker on the outward-facing end of the top bunk. I peeled it off because its right where we walk into this room. The adhesive is nasty sticky and WILL NOT COME OFF. Ive tried goo gone, oil, 91% alcohol. Not sure what else to try that wont damage the finish. Its nasty enough had I known, I might not have ordered the bed even though it works perfectly for our needs. That big sticky spot is surely going to collect dirt and drive me nuts, and I cant believe I cant get it off because label adhesive is a pet peeve so I can usually figure out how the heck to get it off. At this price point, cant yall provide better quality adhesive???
Sticky label adhesive ruins it!
