Well built and sturdy / shipped in two boxes days apart!
Update 4 years later : After daily use by a rapidly growing teen this bed finally needs some TLC. The child is now 200lbs and a strapping adult, and a few of the metal slats under the bed have bent out of position. Probably best as a childs bed but it certainly held up well considering the abuse it took. We even had family visit and it had three adults sleeping on it for a weekend!
Original review Dec 2017: I was looking for a twin over queen bunk bed for a room without too much success and was so glad to find this bed. In my case, the upper bunk is only used when we have visitors and need to use one of our kids bedrooms as a guest room.
The bed arrived surprisingly quickly compared to the shipping times posted online. However, after opening and assembling one the items in the box, we realized that there needed to be a second box with all the mattress bases to complete assembly. This was a little annoying since we had already given away my sons bed that afternoon. We assembled the frame, tossed his queen mattress on the floor and had him sleep there for the week that it took for the second box to catch up and arrive. So, if you order this bed and one big heavy box arrives, open it and make sure you have all the parts for the base before you build the frame! This is pretty much my only reason for knocking one star off this review.
Assembly is super easy and the instructions are not too complicated. If you have assembled anything from Ikea you will be just fine assembling this bed. No squeaking so far it seems to be very sturdy. The queen latex mattress fits snugly and I have ordered a latex xl for the top bunk.
Ive seen other reviews mentioning some sort of cancer causing ingredient labeling on the product. The only warning labels on my package or bed related to the danger of getting wedged in the top bunk, horsing around irresponsibly and being too young for the bed. Dont over think it, youll love it!!
