Bought this for two of my kids, ages 7 and 5. They love it, and its a pretty good/looking piece of furniture when put together.
When we got it from , the assembly instructions were missing, which is not a good thing for a bed this complex to assemble. Fortunately, a quick call to the manufacturer sorted that out and they emailed us a PDF of the manual right away.
Pros:
/ attractive look
/ slats are good and sturdy // much more so than other beds weve owned/seen
/ Manufacturer is nice to work with if theres a problem
Cons:
/ Its no easy task to assemble, took my wife and I about 4 hours. You have to pay VERY CLOSE ATTENTION to what youre doing, because some pieces have very subtle/yet/important differences (e.g., one extra hole drilled in it) and none of them are labeled. I had to disassemble after about 20 minutes in because I missed one of these subtle clues.
/ We had trouble with a screw popping out of the front top railing. Had to glue it in eventually.
/ Once assembled, its a bit wobbly. Not wobbly enough that I feel my kids are in danger, but it doesnt exactly feel like the kind of rock/ piece youd ideally want for a bunk. You wont be having uncle Hal borrowing the top bunk when he comes for Thanksgiving // this is a kids/only bed. Thicker main posts and some more robust means of hooking them together would go a long way to improving my confidence in the structure.
Good/looking bed, just a tad wobbly
