Great bed for the price, I was really impressed. Not too hard to put together, it did take some elbow grease, and a couple hours, but following the instructions carefully and it was pretty much step by step. I read some reviews where people had done things, so the ladder didnt line up - I didnt have that problem, you just have to follow the instructions carefully.
Its very sturdy, nice looking, and all around a great edition to our sons room.
One note: careful to buy thin mattresses, 6 or so. We had bought thicker ones, because they last longer, but on the top bunk, the about as tall as the rail guard, rendering it useless, and dangerous. So we had to go back and get thinner mattresses. Not the beds fault though, it even says on a sticker on the bed use with 6 mattresses. :)
If it lasts a couple years, with no issues, definitely 5 stars.
Update 1/15/2014: I had to update this. This is a great bed, very sturdy, looks good, and we havent had any issues with it. Getting the thinner mattress on top really did help, it was pretty much unusable at first, and now its just fine, our son sleeps up there. The bottom bunk is a little high because have the thick mattress, but thats our fault. The bed has been great!
I got my moneys worth. This bed is exactly what we wanted, our son loves his new big boy bed. It is a very good quality bed it took me 1-2 hours to put it together working alone.
Ease of assembly and comfort are most important to me. Met my expectations. This bed looks just as nice in our twins bedroom as it does in the photo. We are very happy with the sturdiness and the ease of assembly.
Affordable, comfortable looks good and easy to assemble Product was easy to put together and is sturdy. Good quality for the price. Color was close to what was shown online.
exactly as described and more We purchased the bunks in September and they sat in the box for over a month. They were surprisingly easy to put together. The directions were simple, all of the parts were there and after about two hours (I took my time) they were finished.
We were very happy with the color of the wood and the fact that the bunks were very sturdy. We have two boys sleeping in them ages 5 and 8 and the bunks are holding up very well. There is good storage underneath the bottom bunk. This is an excellent bunk bed for the price. Brian Dunphy
Good for the price and looks nice LOTS of pieces,but worth it after assembly. Everything well aligned and easy to build,but make sure you have a cordless drill with a good clutch so as to not over tighten the screws and strip them out, and a hex bit(metric) that fits the screw heads. supplied a wrench to tighten the screws,but youd be at it all day w/o the drill.
Packed very tight and package is heavy( about 116 ) but OK to move with 2 guys.Arrived in great shape and fast thru Super saver Shipping.
Bought the Espresso instead of the Cherry as it was $100 cheaper(Bought 2 sets). Color is not too dark and looks classy. All 4 beds feel very sturdy after assembly.
I added 3 slats to the 7 provided per bed as Adults will be sleeping on these occasionally. The 10 slats are now about 5.25 inches apart. Bought 1x3s at HDepot .Also added 1 Luan Plywood as a Bunky Board that was probably not necessary but I screwed them to the slats to further stiffen it.
Result is a very sturdy 2 sets of Bunkbeds that are rated at 250lbs each bed and that look and work.
Had one of the rails with a crack in a Knot all the way to the outside of the rail, so called the WE number and they have already shipped the replacement. A PERSON from AMERICA answered the call and helped me with NO hassle. These beds are made in Vietnam and show pride of Manufacturing and packaging. Fabulous Buy.
Love it! It looks great and arrived with no ... After buying a lot of furniture over the years from and not being impressed with the longevity of products, I decided to try this one. What a world of difference heavy solid wood can do! This is quite a sturdy and stable bunk bed. The customer service was very prompt and shipped me two parts. First was a side board that was presumably damaged during shipping. The second time was when a slat was broken at a worl. The slats are made of light wood and dont look very strong, and it most certainly wouldnt withstand kids jumping on it. I have it in a bunk-bed configuration, so there is very little headroom for kids to jump on this bed. When the kids are older, I plan to revert it to a side-by-side configuration and hopefully by then the kids wont be so inclined to jump on their beds. I have put two spring mattresses directly on the slats. This is a good buy. I personally prefer steel beds as they are strong, safe and durable. But, this appears to be one that should last until the kids leave home.
Received this bunk bed for my children and was very happy with everything about it. For the price it is ideal. Obviously this is a flat pack item and requires assembly. I would highly recommend using a clutched cordless drill with a 2 Phillips bit for the wood screws and if you can get a hex bit for the bolts. Using power tools makes assembly much easier as long as you make sure to clutch the drill so you dont strip anything. Once assembled this bed is sturdy and has a nice finish. I am very pleased.
The bunk bed is easy to assemble, all hardware and tool included except for a phillips head screw driver for the cross support boards to hold the mattress up. (I used my drill for that) Unless you are planning to use a thick mattress or box spring, you will need to get a few 1 x 4s to add support for a thinner mattress.
A very sturdy and top quality bunk bed.
