WE Twin bunk beds / expresso stain: Great Bunk bed for the price
This is a review of the We Furniture Twin/Twin Bunkbed in Expresso stain. I just finished putting it together and it is a solid bunkbed. The dark stain looks great and hides some of the areas where filler was used on some of he wood panels. It took about 3 hours for me to build it. The only 2 problems that I encountered were: 1) as others said, dont screw in the bed s near the ladder end of the bed, until you attach the ladder / the s will get in the way of the large screws. 2) The holes for the large frame and ladder screws were not deep enough and I had to drill the holes deeper to accept the full length of the screws (or maybe the end of the screw holes were tapered?) In any case, I used a 13/64 drill bit that worked well and allowed the screw threads bite into the wood and could be screwed in all the way.
This bed looks really good but if you want perfect wood (with no filler) you need to spend 1000.
It was delivered in a 6 foot tall box that was very . The packing is a miracle of engineering. Its hard to believe that everything fit into the box. I only noted one minor scuff on a wood post. The packing was impressive.
The directions are OK. A cordless drill or screw driver with the necessary tips will make the assembly easier / not necessarily faster, but easier. There are no extra screws or dowels so dont lose of damage anything.
I cant comment on the durability yet but I am impressed by the quality so far.
