    Good Beds, But

    First and foremost, look at the price. Yes, you get what you pay for. This is a nice set. It is sturdy and the finish is as durable as it gets without being lacquer. But, you are taking your chances ordering this. Three of the pieces were defective. So we could not assemble the top bunk for about a week after we received this. Our son was disappointed that he had to sleep on his new mattress on the floor for a week, while our other son got to sleep in his big boy bed. One piece was split and cracked. The cracked piece was the sandwiched wood that I saw mentioned in another review. It was clear it split from temperature or moisture. It was not the same solid wood that all of the other pieces are made of. Two of the other pieces were damaged in manufacturing. It was clear they were damaged in a machine that they were fed into before being stained and finished. The company was nice enough and did send replacements. I dont like to give bad reviews for damage that is replaced, because we have a few high end special order pieces from Macys Furniture, and even one of the very expensive leather sofas came damaged. And Macys tried to not replace it, even though I tried to reject it on delivery. The days of getting a perfect furniture delivery are long gone for a good 15 / 20 years. This company gave us no problem getting the replacements. And once all together it is a good sturdy piece. I could get on the top bunk at 220+ lbs. Though it is a little light and started to tip over as I climbed up the small ladder. It is supposedly pine but I believe things labeled pine now a days are a lighter tropical wood and not true pine, which is heavier. The slats that hold the beds were very good quality hardwood and look like oak. These are strong enough to hold anyone on these beds. The finish is very, very durable. The unassembled pieces were in the kids room on the floor for a week and I heard them get banged around more than once, without getting damaged. If you order this, expect there to be damaged pieces and expect to wait another week before putting it all together. The kids will be disappointed if they are looking forward to getting their new bed. So be warned, it is likely to be delivered with damage, which requires you to go through the company return process. It took about 30 mins to put the bottom bunk together and another 45/50 minutes to put the top together. You will want to have a good drill handy to drill the slats that hold the beds and to drill the support that runs on the outside of the top bunk///both of these use wood screws with no predrilled holes. Once all together it is a very nice bed for kids. Just expect there to be damaged pieces. It is a waste for the company that makes these to do it this way.
