My daughter desperately wanted a bunk bed for Christmas. We looked at the local kids bed store and left with the impression that we would need to spend $1,500 on a bed, and wait weeks for a truck to deliver it. It was with great skepticism that we ordered this one on for less than $300. How is that possible?
We were not disappointed. It was delivered in 2 days... how is that even possible? The box is long and very heavy. One person can roll and drag it, but you will need two to lift it anywhere. Assembly does take time and patience, but I cant see anything that can be improved. The assembly and quality are on par with anything you would buy from IKEA. Highly recommend you have two people for assembly and set aside three to four hours.
The ladder location is predetermined to be on the right, as pictured. However, that didnt stop me from moving it to the left. You do need to drill holes and accept a few imperfections, but it IS possible to move the ladder. You will need some basic carpentry skills to make this work.
Overall... very impressed with the entire experience. My daughter loves it! We did not experience any of the negative issues that others have reported... for example, none of the parts were scratched or damaged (we ordered white). The wood is solid wood. All of the holes were in perfect alignment. If you put a thin mattress and then have an adult press their knee into it, you will protrude into the slats... but this bed was not made for adults jumping on it. Just keep your expectations in line with the price and you wont be disappointed.
LOTS of pieces,but worth it after assembly. Everything well aligned and easy to build,but make sure you have a cordless drill with a good clutch so as to not over tighten the screws and strip them out, and a hex bit(metric) that fits the screw heads. supplied a wrench to tighten the screws,but youd be at it all day w/o the drill.
Packed very tight and package is heavy( about 116) but OK to move with 2 guys.Arrived in great shape and fast thru Super saver Shipping.
Bought the Espresso instead of the Cherry as it was $100 cheaper(Bought 2 sets). Color is not too dark and looks classy. All 4 beds feel very sturdy after assembly.
I added 3 slats to the 7 provided per bed as Adults will be sleeping on these occasionally. The 10 slats are now about 5.25 inches apart. Bought 1x3s at HDepot .Also added 1 Luan Plywood as a Bunky Board that was probably not necessary but I screwed them to the slats to further stiffen it.
Result is a very sturdy 2 sets of Bunkbeds that are rated at 250lbs each bed and that look and work.
Had one of the rails with a crack in a Knot all the way to the outside of the rail, so called the WE number and they have already shipped the replacement. A PERSON from AMERICA answered the call and helped me with NO hassle. These beds are made in Vietnam and show pride of Manufacturing and packaging. Fabulous Buy.
The bunk beds look great and are very sturdy. They assembled pretty easy with two people, directions were pretty easy to understand and all the pieces were clearly marked. Our son loves sleeping in his new bed.
This is a fantastic solid wood bed for my two boys.
No MDF or particle board, solid wood pieces. Took my husband and I 1 1/2 - 2 hours together to assemble. We used the hex driver that was included plus another we had on hand so we were simultaneously screwing and assembling sections. This bed is very sturdy. I feel comfortable lying next to my 7 yr old on the top bunk. My only complaint is that we had to drill two holes to finish attaching the ladder. Be prepared the box is VERY heavy. It was a good thing my husband was home to help the UPS driver unload and carry it inside. Great bed!
I got this product and started assembling ....... quickly realized one leg (leg B) is missing and called customer service and they shipped missing piece. I wish more sturdy wood.

I have never ordered furniture of any kind online, I was very impressed with the assembly being very simple all the parts were enlosed the shipping was very fast, the bed is perfect for my son looks great very sturdy I would suggest this to anyone.
These bunk beds are perfect for my boys (5 and 7). Very sturdy and a great deal for the price. My husband and I spent about 2 hours putting them together, and we had no problems. The box was very heavy, and we did help the Fed Ex driver a bit with getting it up to the house. Im sure she would have managed on her own with her hand truck but it would not have been easy. Once we got it inside the front door, my husband and I opened the box and carried the pieces up the stairs instead of trying to carry the entire box.
I would probably give this bed 4 1/2 stars if I could. But its definitely closer to 5 than to 4!
I love this bed. I have been considering and looking for several months for beds for my 3- and 5-year-olds when it occurred to me that we could just buy a bunk bed and use it as two beds! Then, if we decide to turn it into a bunk bed later, we can. I wanted a bed that was sturdy, but not too expensive, and that would match the nightstand in their room. After reading a lot of reviews on other beds, we decided to go with this one.
The bed arrived quickly because we live in Utah (it shipped from Salt Lake) and arrived in a day. The box was HEAVY, but my husband brought it in with a dolly.
My husband assembled it without any trouble. My girls were able to help him and he was able to get both beds done in two evenings (after work and before kiddos go to bed). He didnt have any major issues and it was helpful that he had good power tools to help move the project along more quickly. He did have to finish assembling it in the girls room because their doorway wasnt quite wide enough to bring the assembled single beds in.
I have two small complaints, and I read other people mention these as well. 1, it DID smell a little bit like varnish. We put an air purifier in their room, though, and it took care of the smell in about 3 days. Airing out the room would probably have worked, too (but it was too smoky outside to open windows). 2, the slats WERE a little far apart. Id suggest either a bunkie board, a piece of plywood, or having a couple more slats made to go in the bed. We chose the later and with the two extra slats, they were spaced about 6 inches apart.
I loooooove the storage space under the beds! I can put boxes under there for stuffed animals or clothes, AND my girls can fit under there without getting stuck (yeah, I gave up on trying to keep my kids from hiding under the bed). Theres probably 15 or 16 inches of space. Its really great. And again, I love that the bed is sturdy. And its really beautiful. The color is between the espresso (the color we ordered) and cherry, so it ended up perfect for us.
For $160 per bed vs. $500 per bed at the store, this was definitely a big win for us. Love it love it!

Great Beds

Three Stars
Pretty good quality but not too sturdy if the kids are older.

Bought to use as two separate beds - sturdy and beautiful!
