We set this up in our guest room and really love it. The bed is sturdy and was not difficult to put together. there are a lot of parts and it is time/consuming, but the directions are clear and the parts are all labelled well. The futon transforms from couch to bed much more easily than our old futon frame, and Ive been impressed with the way that the mattress stays put on the frame in its couch/form without sliding off. Very simple and beautiful design.
The product is great. I bought the set for my daughters; ages 6 and 4. Great purchase.
The setup. No instructions, which is why I am only giving 4 stars. I was able to find them online via a Google search. There are a lot of small pieces, which wasnt too difficult but it took longer since we had to search out how to do it.
Would still recommend. Great deal. Nothing negative to say. a great value.
A friend got me this as a gift for my lil girls 5th bday. The original shipment did NOT contain the bolts/instructions, BUT one call to , and they picked it up, and resent a new one that arrived within a week. Kudos to for awesome customer service.
On to my actual review
assembly LOL make sure you have the room cleared of any other large furniture first. you WILL need some decent space for assembly. A few parts were a little trickier, and my reccomendation is dont tighten the top screws all the way tight till all the parts are in place. Then when your finished go over them ( in between the bed and futon attachment sections.
Me personally, I dont have a futon mattress yet, so what I did was put together the bedframe and add one ladder ( as it is in the corner of a room, and adding the other ladder would have been useless, BUT nine the less the fact that is that versitile is a plus) I didnt want to put together the futon section, and have my little one get hurt, or bend/break the frame before I get a futon mattress to go to it. The frame is quite sound and works just as well without it.
The instructions arent confusing and use exploding diagram style instructions, the parts are well labelled, and the little allen wrench worked well.
I have high ceilings, so I dont have to worry about ceiling clearance, but I would say at LEAST 8ft+ ceilings would work best with this. I had few to no real problems with assembly, took about 3 hours just for the frame without adding the futon, but I am meticulous, and part of it was playing furniture tetris upon realizing the size of the frame.
Now, completed, it DOES have a little wobbleness to it (it IS a rather lightweight frame) [after ALL bolts are properly tightened] when I take a step or two up the ladder, but again, I havent added the futon frame underneath that would help counterweight. Im also about a 150lb, 59 adult, For a small child, its 100 fine for a bunk bed.
Temporarily I have a twin sized air mattress in the top with a mattress cover, and the frame, assembled well, has no sharp edges or pinching , and it has worked out fine for my 5 year old girl who loves it. All in all, I would most definitely recommend this product to people who have a 5+ child, as it can grow with your child as well ( when they get to the early/teen years, the futon can become a bed, and the upstairs would make excellent extra storage space)
I dont really have any downsides to tell sofar of this product, except that it is a little bigger than it looks, so make sure you have room to move around as you build it. Very sturdy It is just excellent!!
I love the finish product once its put together. Patience is what you need when putting this bed together, but the outcome is great. My daughter loves her bed. The only thing I was really bummed about was that one of the pieces was cracked and not welded right. The manufacture replaced it right away. So I cant complain. no regrets at all for this purchase
We bought this to put into a multi/use bedroom/office space. Took a lot of time patience to assemble but when it was completed it worked out nicely in the space we chose Its a fantastic price.
I was incredibly surprised by the quality and sturdiness of this bed for the price. I would definitely set aside a few hours to assemble. Its a bit tedious, but the instructions are well written. Really Happy!!
Some of the instructions where a little difficult to follow but overall everything went smoothly. You definitely need a buddy to help and I do suggest a power tool just be careful to not strip the bolts. Great find!!

Great Guest Room Bed

One Star
No assembly instructions or manual included. How am I suppose to put this together. Not worth the money.

Rock steady
We bought this to put into a multi/use bedroom/office space. Took a lot of time patience to assemble but when it was completed it worked out nicely in the space we chose Its a fantastic price.
Set a side some time, its a lot of pieces.
Nice and sturdy, my son loves it. Just set aside some time, its a lot of pieces. This product was exactly what I was hoping for
Nice. Squeaky tho. Which is kind of worrisome. We will see how it last over time
Squeaks a lot. And shakes a lot. Hopefully it will last. Absolutely awesome product!!
Great bed for the money
