Good value, great use of space, solid construction, easy instructions, easy to assemble. Recommended.
I bought the twin over queen and the trundle in . Very pleasantly surprised by the quality and sturdiness of the bed. The bed is solid wood, except for the mattress slats, which are plywood. Instructions were simple and easy to understand. The bed went together easily, but best put together with two people. It will cut your time substantially. All the hardware was included and very clearly labeled in separate sealed envelopes. Recommend you open an envelope only as you need it and not before. Im not a wood expert, so I dont know the type of wood, but it is very light in weight. Much lighter than or pine. As a DIY bed, the screw heads are all exposed, even though they are a nice shade to match the bed, they definitely stand out and show it is a put together at home bed. Thats the only reason I rated it 4 stars and not 5.
I put together the bed with glue on every connection and every screw. If you add a little glue to the screws, they will not work loose as the bed is used, particularly if there are some big boys, or girls in your family. The bed is amingly solid. I initially entertained an idea to reinforce the supports of the top bunks, since they only rate the bunk to 150 pounds, but after putting the bed together with glue, I am not worried at all and will not reinforce the bed. WARNING. If you follow my lead and put the bed together with a good wood glue, you will need a saw to move it or take it apart, you will ruin the bed. Just saying
