Easy assembly, affordable solution.but this bed will not stop SQUEAKING!!!
The bed was easy to assemble. My 11/year old daughter and I were able to complete the entire process without assistance. There were no missing parts, and we were able to reverse the sides and put the ladder on the opposite side of the bed. We were thankful to find an affordable solution for a bunk bed.
The futon is a bit of a challenge to fold and unfold, but it does stay in place after each transition. although the handles fall off every time, which is frustrating. We dont fold and unfold the lower bunk on a regular basis, because of this hassle. We adapt.
My biggest complaint, and one not to be overlooked: this bed SQUEAKS terribly! Every time my 80 pound son turns over or moves his legs, the bed squeaks. We have a cat that weighs about 10 pounds, and the bed squeaks, even when the cat jumps on or off the top bunk. It squeaked on day one, and now that we have had the bed for over 3 months, it still squeaks. we have become more accustomed to it, but I am still looking forward to the day when we can afford to replace these squeaky bunk beds! All bolts have been tightened, and several of them have just enough traction to hold the parts together (as I considered placing something between the parts that are rubbing together). I have been unable to isolate the joints where the squeaking occurs, as it seems to be coming from the whole frame. Infuriating!
We also purchased another style from , and it has the same squeaky problem. It is a very annoying flaw, both to the children who are trying to sleep, and to the rest of the household (although it does act as a sort of bed alarm, giving some warning when the kids are getting out of bed. you begin to recognize the squeaking patterns of ladder use or merely flipping over, while reading in bed). Other than that, its a great product!
