We purchased this bed for our five year old, she loves it. Has a lot of fun with hanging out in the "treehouse". Thebed is sturdy and well built. We left out the slats in the bottom bunk to turn it into a reading area. Notice some buyers felt the bed wasn't not as sturdy when leaving these slat out but I think it depends on if it is sitting on a wood floor or carpet. Our's is on carpet and helps to keep the bed from racking without the slats.We put a Nest BKB foam mattress in the top bunk. Fits perfectly with room to spare but the slats are spaced a little too wide for just the foam mattress. We used the extra slats we didn't use in the bottom bunk on ours but otherwise would recommend putting in a bunkie board or maybe a piece of 3/8" ply to give some more support.For assembly STRONGLY RECOMMEND using a screw gun with a 4mm or 5/32" hex driver tip for assembly. There are a LOT of 1/4" lag screws to install which would take forever if you are trying to do this by hand with the allen key provided. Using a screw gun by myself, assembly took about 3 hrs start to finish.Good bedMy wife and I bought this bunk bed for our boys who sleep in an outdoors/national parks themed bed room. I should note that the wood color is a slightly lighter gray than how it looks in the listing, but the color is great. No complaints there. It feels really sturdy, obviously plenty of support for my 5-yo son who sleeps up there, but it's also able to easily support his 180-lb dad without any movement, sounds, or signs of excessive stress when I'm up there reading him a story or something. Overall we're very happy with the bed. The only con I can think of is that I would have liked for the roof piece to extend all the way back to the wall to give my kids more of a treehouse feel, but it's not a huge deal.Best PurchaseThis bed is very sturdy, easy to put together. It would be easier with a drill bit that fits an Allen head. It is doable with just the tool provided as we did it but would have cut down on the time. All of the pieces were labeled and easy picture instructions. The only thing that had me confused was it came in 2 boxes 3 days apart otherwise no problems. Overall great product great price point. My kiddos love it.Worth it, it was horrific putting it together and took us most of the day but for the price it’s great, very cute.This bunk bed was perfect for our sons! It was a little confusing because it comes in 2 separate boxes and we received one at a time. It’s real sturdy and they love the fort on top.Gorgeous bed. Great customer service
