We wanted to convert the gym in our home to a childrens bedroom for when our grandchildren visit (ages 3 and 5). We wanted a bunk bed that would allow us to maximize the floor space for the kids, but also wanted something larger than a twin in the event we had a houseful of company and needed to put adults in there. We looked at the local stores but didnt find anything we liked, and everything we saw was 500 and up plus delivery and set up.so I did some web surfing and found this bed . It fit our needs, looked okay, and the price was certainly good. But if you have dealt with a store in recent years, you know how difficult they have become when it comes to returns or issues with a purchase. So I went to (my preferred online shopping source) and found the same item for essentially the same price. Done deal. I also bought two memory foam mattresses and the total delivered price was less than just the beds we saw locally.
Delivery was earlier than expected and UPS and even brought the (heavy) box inside. All the parts were there and my wife re/labeled everything for ease of set up. Instructions were good with adequate detiail, and the hardware was all numbered and blister packed, so the assembly went like clock work. I have a tip for you handymen. Toss the free Allen wrench they supplied, look in your security bit assortment and use your screw gun or drill (my bits are from a Harbor Freight set I bought for under 10 and I have used it a lot). You will save yourself hours and the finished product will be more secure. The total time from opening the box to finished product was under 6 hours. I am more confident in the bed and my own assembly than if a delivery crew did a rush job for a bed that my grandchildren will sleep on.
Great value and straightforward assembly.
