We only expected to use this item for 2 years, but was hoping the reviews that mentioned cracks were in the item were no long an issue. Especially since the reviews were from 2 to 3 years ago. My boys love the bunk bed, but I dont think this will last more than a year. There was a crack in the ladder and on the side of the twin size bed. Disappointing.
This took me about an hour to put together with help. Directions certainly could be clearer. Also, if you try to do this without a power drill best of luck but it will take forever. I found I had to loosen a large number of bolts and retighten them, so a drill saved the day. The section that shows one bolt being tightened to 100% and the other to 80% is a lie. Tighten them both to 70% and come back later to tighten them to 100% or it wont go together. Still // a very nice bed and glad we got it.
My kids loved this bunk bed with the slide. The assembly took 5 hours; not that it is complex, but the first two steps took much time, as placing the 7 planks onto the wooden bar was not so easy. Finally, the material is not so sturdy. I noticed a crack while installing the white chips on the final steps.
Definitely not an easy assembly but, not super difficult either. Just be ready to set down and work on this for an hour or so. Maybe longer if you do not PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS ON ASSEMBLY Dont ask how I learned this.
I love the bed, its really beautiful! I got the gray color. The only issue I have with the bed is all of the paint chipping. I noticed the chipping the next morning after my kids slept in their beds. And no they do not jump or play on them.
Overall, we love the bed, but heres what you need to know if youre thinking about getting this one or a similar bed:
? The 3rd time our threeyearold slept on the top bunk, she fell off through the gap in the railing where the ladder attaches. She didnt get hurt because the top bunk is still fairly low and we have carpet, but we decided it was unsafe for her to be on top for now.
? There are not enough bed slats, so we took both sets of slats and used them on the upper bunk. That was the only way to not have the mattress sink through the gap between the slats.
? The bottom mattress now rests directly on the ground without any slats. And this works fine.
? The slide was designed a bit too steep. We put a kiddie chair under the end of the slide, and now its safer.
So there are definitely modifications that we needed to make, but I would still give it 4.5/5 because its sturdy and works great. We use the upper bunk for storing all her stuffies, and she still loves going down the slide.

Good product
Like everyone else said / great bed, annoying to assemble.

A Paradise for Kids / But Not So Sturdy
My kids loved this bunk bed with the slide. The assembly took 5 hours; not that it is complex, but the first two steps took much time, as placing the 7 planks onto the wooden bar was not so easy. Finally, the material is not so sturdy. I noticed a crack while installing the white chips on the final steps.
Early christmas

Life changing for my daughter, she now thinks her bed is the best bed in town.
Definitely not an easy assembly but, not super difficult either. Just be ready to set down and work on this for an hour or so. Maybe longer if you do not PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS ON ASSEMBLY Dont ask how I learned this.

Needs modifications for safety. Read below.
