It took two of us about 2 hours and 40 minutes to assemble it. The directions are mediocre, at best, however this is a quality product once assembled. I love it!!
I wanted to wait until we had moved it our first time post/assembly to write a review. It was a breeze to take apart and reassemble again in a new home. And it is straight forward enough that we didnt need the instructions the second time to be able to reassemble. It is a great bed and felt it was the right price for what we were getting. We like that it has the ladder on both sides of the bed so that we dont have to take apart the entire thing if we want to rearrange the furniture in the room.
The assembly is time consuming, but the mechanics of it make sense and it creates a sturdy frame for a childrens bunk bed. We thought our kids would love having their own levels to sleep on, but we find it adorable that they end up sleeping together on the lower bunk. They are kind of best buddies, and this bed has created a lot of fun photographs to cherish.
I do, however, wish that the bars on the upper bunk were about 3 inches taller. I didnt think my twin mattress was an abnormally tall mattress, but after we put the bedding on it, there isnt a lot of guarding happening with the bars. So, if you buy this, make sure that your mattress isnt very tall for the upper bunk so that you can take advantage of the protection the guard rails are there for. Perhaps this is why the older child has naturally leaned toward sleeping on the bottom. But, when he does sleep on the top, it hasnt been an issue.
This is a great item. Not too difficult to put together.I put it together by myself, but it would have gone together quicker if I had someone else helping. Great item! Love it!!
Instructions sucked and the bed is a little more wobbly than Id hoped after reading all the reviews. The rungs on the ladder are so narrow that they hurt my kids feet to climb up them so I had to install padding. But for the price its satisfactory. I feel if I could give different models the eye test I couldve done better. That was a problem!!
After reading the reviews, I decided that this bed would be a good choice for my four year olds new bed. I wanted a twin over full and something that was solid. I also didnt want to spend a lot of money considering how hard kids are on furniture, as well as not knowing how long hes going to want to have bunk beds in his room.
I decided to start a timer as my husband and I started unboxing this bed and seeing EXACTLY how long it took to put this bed together. In full disclosure, we 1) Used a power tool to put the screws in and 2) We were still watching our two small children, so there were potty breaks, extra helping and a little chasing involved. With that said, it took us 1 hour and 55 minutes to put this together / about what I was expecting. We had a REALLY hard time getting one of the top slats in (just one. We actually considered just leaving it out) so that alone probably added 10 minutes.
As another reviewer suggested, we installed the ladders upside/down so that the two steps that are closer together are at the top so my son has more steps when hes at the top. Now that its built, Im not sure that would have been necessary, as they can climb up on the bottom part of the top bunk, and that first step over the bottom mattress is pretty big now, but its fine how it is.
Hes been sleeping in the bottom bunk for about a week now and it doesnt move, squeak, rattle or anything that would make me concerned about how solid it might be so far. You will not be getting a piece of heirloom furniture that you can pass down to your grandkids / there are already little spots where the paint is chipping off the bed, but for the price, I still think this bed is a great buy.
I will add / when they say use a 6 mattress or less, they mean it. We bought a 6 memory foam mattress and I wonder if we should have done a 5. I feel like with the 6 mattress we are pushing not having enough guard rail on the top. I suppose with an older child this might not be as much of an issue as with a pre/schooler. Would definitely buy again!
I bought this bed for my 2 young kids, and Ive got to say I am surprised at how great it is. I was iffy about buying it because it was so cheap. But Im glad I did. It was a little complicated to put up, youll definitely need 2 people. But other than that, its great!
The ONLY thing that I do not like about it, its ladders are on the sides and are very small, so its difficult for my 7 year old to get down. But I definitely would recommend this bed to EVERYONE! Its great for young kids, older kids, even for guests since it has the full at the bottom. Cute and comfortable

Convenient but.
a bit concerned about the sturdiness of the bars of top bunk that hold the mattress. Used 5 nights by 90lb teenager, so far so good.
Five Stars
Not bad, it is when will creak sound on the bed
Great product for the price.

Nice and sturdy and relatively easy to put together
Nice and sturdy and relatively easy to put together. Two people had it assembled in less than 30 minutes. very reasonably priced as well.
Great bed for a GREAT price!
