Great price! Nice bed. The matresses are rubbish though. And you really have to stay on top of keeping the screws in tight. The squeaking gets unbarable if you dont
It arrived quickly and is very very heavy! We put it together yesterday. It took about two hours for the full process from unpacking it and laying it out and few times of unscrewing and realigning the rails.see below.and clean up.
Only giving it a four star due to some of the pieces being chipped and rusted.
It was easy to put together and everything had a letter label white sticker which was aming! I loved the extra parts that came with it. The plastic pieces that hold the cross rails in place are rather loose in some of the spots and easy to break so be careful popping them in.
The small futon mattress side anchors are rather loose and we will have to modify to keep them in the frame.
Make sure you pay attention to the fact that the long side bed rails need to have the fat side of the slots towards the ground. Also make sure the ladder holes in the top rail and the side panel line up and are on the correct side of each other.
So far satisfied with the assembly processes.
I really really wanted to give this bed 5 stars/its exceptionally well thought out, durable, stable, and a great value for the money.
BUT/the instructions are horrible, and the pictures not much better.
Do not tighten down any bolts until youre sure that youre not going to have to take something apart and rebuild it again. Because the instructions are that bad, youve got a 50 chance of getting it wrong and/or backwards.
Theres gems in the instructions like this: For better look, welding spots are oriented towards inside of the bed.
First of all, there are welding spots on both sides of the pieces/so which welding spots do they mean.
Second, if you guessed the wrong side the bed will not go together. But you wont know that until 5 steps down the road. So its not just a matter of For better look.
The other reason not to tighten down bolts until youre nearly finished is that the bed will be more stable that way, and you decrease your chances of stripping a bolt. Thats a general rule for all RTA furniture. I would know, I sold RTA for over 10 years. Too bad the instructions didnt deem it necessary to mention that.
You gotta wonder how many returns, bad ratings and dissatisfied customers they get just because they refuse to invest in decent instructions. For example, theres plenty of reviews that state the holes are not drilled in the right place.are the holes really misaligned, or was the bed put together ass backward.
I had the luxury of plenty of time and a large area to work in. After rebuilding several tasks a couple times, it took me about 6 hours. If I were time constrained, I very well may of got frustrated with it enough to return it.
Take your time. Its a nice bed if you have patience.
Good bed for the price. The plastic retainers to hold the runners secure break easily so make sure you are careful when you snap them in. Excellent value for what I paid
Its a great bed. When I first opened the box I was a little overwhelmed by how many pieces came in the box and told my husband we should have paid for the install. But after we started putting it together it went by pretty quickly and easily. It is much easier to put together with two people. One to hold the extra long pieces in place while the other puts the bolts together. The top bunk is much taller than I was expecting which I probably could have figured out before buying by reading the items details but of course I didnt. Our ceilings are not vaulted and the ceiling fan is pretty much eye level when sitting on the top bunk, and being a very square bed room there wasnt really a spot where the fan wont meet the bed at atleast one spot or another. So it has to be turned off when on the top bunk for safety reasons. We bought this for our 7 year old and he has only spent on the top bunk one time because of height. But it is a very sturdy bed and with the purchase of a little higher end futon mattress, its very comfy. I would say this would be more suited for a larger bedroom and slightly older kids. What a surprise
