This is a good bed for under 500, but it isnt without its imperfections out of the box in terms of nicks and discoloration on the wood pieces. It wasnt worth doing any sort of exchanges or returns as we were in need of this bed now. The one disappointing part was the instructions stated that mattresses from size 5 in to 9/in would work, but that is definitely not the case for the bunk bed on top or the trundle underneath. The safety warning sticker on the bed even warns against using a mattress more than 8in thick.On top of that height of mattress raises the kid to an unsafe level and almost makes the guardrail useless, and the bed does not fit underneath with the trundle at 9 in either. Had to go take foam mattresses back to Target late last night out of their suction packaging and track down 6/in mattresses instead in order for the kids to be able to sleep safely. Lastly, I had bought bunkie boards as the item description said they would be needed, but the box came with wood support slats and a bunkie board for the trundle. So I will get these large 3 bunkie board boxes over to a ups store for a return. Overall, it was a good value for the money but theres definitely some misleading parts of the item description that has caused some unnecessary hassles. Average product.
