Assembly takes some time but using the picture diagrams makes it an easy can do. Make sure to have a drill handy with the correct bit to drive the screws to save time during assembly. Came in two large boxes about 70 lbs each. Size wise it is perfect for kids but a tight squeeze for adults. I would recommend this bed set for kids under 12.
Everything is aming EXCEPT the instructions are wrong! They have mislabeled boards which makes the initial set up very hard to figure out. They also labeled wrong numbers for the screws on multiple pages. This needs reviewed ASAP by the manufacturer because this delayed the set up by an hour or more, not to mention damage to the wood due to the wrong screws listed on the instruction manual.
Sturdiness: very sturdy
Value: incredible piece of furniture for this amount and absolutely gorgeous
Ease of assembly: difficult, mostly due to the mislabeled parts and instructions.
Time to assemble: 4+ hours
So the only reason I gave it 4 stars was because over half of the parts werent labeled so I didnt know what letter was what piece and there was no written instructions just pictures so I made it a little complicated.
I put this bed up a week ago. So far, the best part by far has been my kids absolutely ecstatic response to it. It doubles as two play forts, sometimes they (3 and 6) play together in one bunk, sometimes they separate, but they still spend a ton of time it it. They absolutely love this bed.
Im happy with it, too. Not pictured are the huge, 6/inch bolts that hold it very securely together. Ive climbed up into the top bunk with both my kids, for a total load of about 250 pounds, and the bed didnt wobble a bit. The guard rails go all the way around the top bunk, and, with the five/inch mattresses I put on, theres plenty of space between the top of the mattress and the top of the rails to keep kids from falling off.
I put the bed together myself in a little over three hours. The parts are all individually labeled and the directions are clear and mostly easy to follow. I confused myself for a few minutes by holding the assembly sideways, and I would have appreciated if the holes for the screws for the roof and were either pre/drilled or even just marked with ink, but I was able to eyeball those bits, and they came together sturdy and straight.
It takes a lot of torque to tighten down the Allen bolts. If you have a really top/end drill, that might work, but I dont and wouldnt recommend trying it. I also dont recommend using the throwaway Allen wrenches in the box. Use a good Allen wrench with a comfortable handle, and youll move faster and save yourself all sorts of pain.
There was one bolt where the hole for the Allen wrench wasnt cut all the way, so my Allen wrench wouldnt turn it. Since theres no extra bolts or screws included, I put the one bolt on a guardrail against the wall where its unlikely to face much abuse, and tightened it down with pliers. This was the only obvious miss on quality of the product.
One other possible con is, the bunks use screwed/down slats, and the bottom mattress is about two inches off the ground, so I foresee having issues cleaning up dust under the bottom bunk.
Those are the only negatives at this point, and I think theyre very minor. I fully expect my kids will outgrow sleeping in bunk beds at all, long before the bed itself develops any issues that require it to be taken down. This is a solid product that I feel safe letting my kids sleep on.
I have a few small critiques. This product would be aming if it had more pre/drilled holes for smaller screws. Overall assembly went well and everyone thinks my 3 year olds bunk bed is super cool.
This comes in three boxes and it is packed well. I had no damages and it arrived via UPS. This item came a lot faster than anticipated by all the shippimg warnings saying ships in one to two weeks and then 3/5 day ground shipping. I have put together a bunk bed before and this was surprisingly easy. While two people would make the job easy, I did assemble this on my own in just 3 hours, taking my time. The instructions are very easy to follow and there are pre/drilled holes that make assembly a snap. ts a real sturdy design that looks exactly as pictured. Awesome bunk bed!
