Love this bed ! Looks great sturdy my 2,3 years olds and my self can be one it with no issues(Im not a size 5 more like an 18) however I do not jump on it as my 3 yr old would like lol . The finish is nice my guy put it together in probably 2 hrs then like an additional 15 minutes to put the drawers together a few days down the road . My kids love it and it far exceeded my expectations I think he will have this for a long time and I love the space it saves with the drawers an aming!!! I will say the other reviews that said it comes in one package and is unnaturally heavy are absolutely 100 true! The box was so heavy my guy couldnt get it up on his shoulder which Ive never seen happen for him it took everything in me to move it from the front porch to just enough inside my house to shut the door ! It was just cry heavy! The reason I have it 4 not 5 stars is because there are some sharp edges on this bed and if you happen to scrape you shin or say the back of your heal ( no idea how I did this ) I promise you will be in agonizing pain like throw stuff scream obscenities ( which I did not thank you but soo wanted to ) then it was sore for a week and then became a scab ! Cry painful ! That being said still a 4 cause its sturdy, nice looking, my kids have not hurt themselves, and I fricken know better now and am super careful of the edges of death ! Buy this bed it rocks ! Very helpful.
We ordered this bed, and absolutely love the color and look of itbut were disappointed that it came with cheap plywood for support under the mattress. After two days I sat in the middle and one of the pieces split in half, so now I have to go to Lowes and replace it with a better quality of wood and spend even more money. Overpriced.
I ordered 3 of these Twin Mates box/style beds for our 3 young boys who share a room together. I wanted the look of Pottery Barns 3/boy/room without the high price. These are the next best look to Pottery Barn, and no one peeking in the room would know the difference. The color is just as pictured on website, and just as expected: a nice medium shade of blue. The quality of the beds are less than ideal for any rough/housing or play/bouncing on, but made of particle board you get what you pay for. Only one of the beds came with a single broken piece to the drawer, but the company cheerfully and immediately sent the replacement part, so no harm done. Even though not real wood, they should last our boys a good 6/9 years until they leave home, trusting the quality good enough to hold up to nightly sleep and light use throughout the day. I would give a 3/Star rating for the slightly fragile quality of the bed itself (plastic connectors, thin frame). But a 4/star for the overall look of the bed being very nice, all three beds are identical in color shade, drawers fit evenly across the front, and are easy to open while lying on the bed. They arrived in good timing to our need, and were packed well. I got the Pottery Barn look I was after, the little boys (being the bottom of 9 kids) are thrilled to each have their very own new beds, and Daddy is pleased with the price. Very nice product!
I have to say I was impressed with the shipping speed of this product. But when we got the product it was very complicated to put together. My boyfriend works in construction for a living, so he is a seasoned builder and he even had issues putting this bed together. We are still waiting to put the drawers in since the holes were out of place. You could put the pin in one hole and then when you tried to screw in the other part of it the holes did not match up at all.
The bed does seem like it is good quality though. I would probably buy it again if it was easier to put together and if they made it so that all of the holes lined up correctly. I know it says no power tools, but we had to use them to make our own holes since they were completely off. Its ok but smaller than expected.
Not real wood but very sturdy (laminated mdf). Comes with blue pen to cover knicks and dings. Have had ours for about a year and so far have not even needed to use the marker. Being used by rowdy 3 year old boy so its holding up well. Drawers do not line up perfectly. Will be ordering more.
I have had this bed for a while now and someone sat on the corner and broke the particle board that the mattress rests on, this has been quite the inconvenience for me but at least it can be fixed with a simple sheet of plywood. The drawers have not given me any issues though they can be bit pointy, I would recommend sanding down the sharp edges a tad. This bed could REALLY use a headboard. I have a bit of an unstandard set up I have to stuff a lot of pillows between this and the edge or my pillows will just fall right off, a simple headboard could remmedy this.
Good but needs improvement. Very happy.
This was a nightmare to put together, with instructions that were worse than s illustrations.
Pros:
/ Sturdy once put together
/ Blueberry finish is a nice touch, and they provide a touch up marker which works perfectly
/ Three drawers for storage, which is very helpful
Cons
/ Is a bit longer than the twin mattress we have, which I think is actually shorter than normal. The extra room at ends is awkward and creates a sharp edge when trying to get off. Highly recommend measuring twice so you only have to order once.
/ Drawers system uses plastic rails, rather than . I see them getting stuck or hard to open in the future
/ Some items werent pre/drilled and you cant use an electric screwdriver, meaning its hard to put together. Well built!!
Having had a good experience furnishing my sons room (hes now 4) with items, I bought this when his 2 year old sister was ready to transition to a big girl bed. I love the storage drawers, and I love the color of this item. Upon putting the bed together, I noticed that one of the support board was damaged and somehow there were no knobs included with my item. One visit to the company website and I was able to talk to a representative online (I love that feature, so much easier than talking on the phone with three little ones underfoot!) and my replacement board and knobs arrived only a few days later. This bed is sturdy, durable, and perfect for growing kids. Assembly was fairly easy, I think it took me an hour to an hour and a half by myself, but my sons bed was virtually the same assembly, so it might take a first/timer a little longer. I will definitely order from again. Value.

Good quality bed
Just what was needed to make my grandsons room complete. He now has the dresser, end table and bed. Nice! Well made. It was just what I wanted.
Fast Shipping, but horrible to put together

Particle board seriously needs to die and could really use a head board
