Using the top bunk in the floor for our toddlers bed. Easy to assemble nice color the gray is much darker and sort of blue than I expected but still a good color.
Perfect for our large family, we sleep three and sometimes 4 kids in this bed, they are all pretty little but they love it. It is a great color and my husband put it together all by himself although that is not recommended. He did say the directions could have been much more clear but we are happy with the purchase
We ordered this for our daughters to make room for our 3rd child coming soon. We didnt want to spend much on a bunk bed because it is a temporary solution until we find a more permanent living location. We also didnt want to buy a metal bunk. Our kids are 2 and 6. We ordered the gray color to match the other furniture in the room.
This item did take longer than most Prime items. It took about a week, though it had arrived in our city two days prior to the delivery and FedEx had a note in the tracking does not have to be delivered today. When it arrived, the box was slightly damaged but nothing alarming. When opening the box, we were surprised how exact the color was and the packaging to our crib/dresser by Stork Craft. Everything looked the same, including the tools and packaging. That set off some alarms because our Stork Craft Furniture for the dress came in broken, and was missing 1 bolt.
Its best to give yourself plenty of space when separating the materials. For us, we built some of it in our living room because of how much space the full size took up. Then we connected it all in their bedroom. It does take a while to set up with a lot of patience.
Some of the problems we had, first we had difficulty with some connections with the hex nuts with the bolts. It had to line up just right, otherwise it would not connect, and just took some time adjusting different bolts to loosen other connections to make things work. The guard rail did not line up if following the steps accordingly. We had to remove some bolts from a previous step, attach the guard rail, and then bolt the sides in. So, we had to do a few steps backwards in order to go forward.
Now for the material problems. For the full size portion, the top decorative part of the front and back rails (head and foot board) were broken. The top piece was not glued in. This is a simple fix with wood glue, and not a problem when the top bunks connects to the bottom, but still broken. Secondly, one of the Qs, its a support piece for the side rails of the top bunk, it did not have a pre/drilled opening to put the screw in. We saw a small mark, and when trying to manually screw in, a hole punched right through the board. So, this was a manufacturing error. Its as if the hole was completely made, versus only half way to flush the screw inside. So, this entire piece will not work. Finally one of the hex nuts was not made correctly, so none of the screws for that piece will go through to finish one of the frame connections. It looks distorted and angled. Also, the slats for the twin/upper deck of the bunk bed, 4 our of the 7 slats are not drilled correctly, and impossible to make contact with the bed with the screws that are meant to do with it.
The manual does say if parts are missing or damaged to call their own customer service line for free replacements. This is the same info Stork Craft had, and replacement parts took about a week to arrive, so I expect the same with this. So, I will be calling for replacement parts.
For quality, I am going to add more slats to the bottom deck/full size. There are large gabs in between the slats they provided, and think adding more slats will be more stable versus adding a simple plywood, plus the bottom bunk is mainly for our 2 year old to use. The upper bunk has plenty of slats, but I did read others saying plywood helped a lot. Since the top bunk is smaller, I will be doing the same, buying plywood for the top bunk.
Overall, in general we are pleased with the cost. We did get a discount from for the damaged item, but I would recommend based on the quality and price. Just a little manual labor, and you may have some broken or missing parts but with free replacement it shouldnt be a huge deal breaker. I would buy again or recommend for anyone on a budget. Also the bed can be separated for future individual use.
Very nice bed. My son absolutely loves it because it. So, I assembled it late st night after getting home from work around 1am. It took me about 3 hours to assemble it. The box is really heavy, so get a second person to lift it, if possible. My box did not have instructions, but I found them online. Fairly simple to assemble, but a lot of parts. I feel like there are some design flaws like the round steps and round slats which would both be better off being flat. And all the plastic pieces that need to go on towards the end are a bit of a headache, but I guess they keep the slats more stable and prevent squeaking and moving. It was a good price and it feels fairly sturdy. Overall, a very good bed for kids,
We got this bed for our two boys (9 and 7) and it seems perfect so far. We put it up a couple weeks ago, it was easy to put together (just me and my husband) and seems sturdy as well.
So far so good. I have two young boys 7,6 years old and suits them great. Only concerns is weight capacity is is under 200 lbs so not suitable for adults meaning I cant lay with them and read them a story before bed.
Im torn on 2 or 3 stars. This think looks great until you realize its made of the softest wood and your fingernail can scratch into it. He wood splits VERY EASILY, lord forbid all the predrilled holes line up. (They dont) here are exactly enough screwed so when your trying to get the really cheap soft screw in and it strips out because the damn holes arent drilled to line up you have ZERO spares. To top it all off(probably my fault but.) EACH LEVEL ONLY HOLDS 165ibs. So. my husband cant lay down with my son to go to bed. The eff! I cant tell you all the stuff that the softness of the wood makes a problem but I can say pay more DO NOT BUY THIS unless you just dont care and want to cheap throw away bunk bed.

Perfect for our large family and small home

My son loves it

Easy to put together
We got this bed for our two boys (9 and 7) and it seems perfect so far. We put it up a couple weeks ago, it was easy to put together (just me and my husband) and seems sturdy as well.
Great
It was a little beat up
Well made easy to assemble
Easy to assemble, parts clearly marked took 2 of us about 2 hours. The frame is sturdy and well made. They ship a few extra parts.
Weight capacity low
So far so good. I have two young boys 7,6 years old and suits them great. Only concerns is weight capacity is is under 200 lbs so not suitable for adults meaning I cant lay with them and read them a story before bed.
What a piece of crap. Super soft wood makes a crappy bed.
Im torn on 2 or 3 stars. This think looks great until you realize its made of the softest wood and your fingernail can scratch into it. He wood splits VERY EASILY, lord forbid all the predrilled holes line up. (They dont) here are exactly enough screwed so when your trying to get the really cheap soft screw in and it strips out because the damn holes arent drilled to line up you have ZERO spares.

I cant tell you all the stuff that the softness of the wood makes a problem but I can say pay more DO NOT BUY THIS unless you just dont care and want to cheap throw away bunk bed.
Loved it
The product is good and it was easy to put everything together, it looks complicated at first but once you figure out how to do it, it easy.
