U have to have a room big enough to place everything in order to put together the wood is so soft like balsa wood screws pull right through the wood with ease complete garbage wast of moneyMy husband and I put these beds together in an easy Saturday afternoon (granted, he is good with following assembly instructions). The one critique I have for the assembly instructions is that it would tell you the steps to put one bed together, or to connnect one bed, etc. and you just have to repeat those same instructions for each bed. Which is fine.. but there is no indication in the instructions to continue with each one until all four are done, so we just had to figure that out. But excellent quality for the money!! I feel the beds are very sturdy and look forward to many years of use. Tip: be sure to take into account where the ceiling fan is in the room. I failed to do that and it was almost too close for comfort!This bed turned out to be really sturdy. Assembling it was a nightmare. The instructions were not clearly written and out of order. Holes were misaligned and we had to drill new ones. Barrel nuts didn’t line up correctly and there were a TON of them. This took us hours to assemble.This comes in three boxes, and one of the boxes was left at the warehouse so we had to wait for it to arrive. And one of the pieces clearly has water damage. We have emailed the seller and not heard anything back, however you can’t really notice the water damage, so it’s not a big deal. It was on the face of one of the drawers.Other than the awful assembly process, water damaged piece, and shipping delay, the bed is solid and looks great. For the price, it’s a good deal. However, if we ever move, the new homeowners are getting an L-shaped bunk bed because we’ve vowed to never mess with it again!The bunk beds are super nice! 5 stars for the item. Paint looks great, no cosmetic issues at all with the item. I do not recommend letting the kids jump on the bed… the bottom wood of the beds does not look like could hold anything besides sleeping. The installation time took a total of an hr of the bottom two and 45 min for the top and it was only one person building it. We used hammers for the screws that did not align properly and power tool to secure all other screws. I gave it 4 stars because I only got delivered the bottom 2 bunks and the top bunk never showed. I had to create a ticket to get my 3rd bunk, customer service was super nice and helpful - so overall 5 stars. Just be ware that shipping issues are possible.We built this in a loft area at our family cabin. Overall, it was easy, but time consuming to build. Several of the parts were unlabeled and a couple were labeled with the incorrect part number. I was able to figure out which parts were correct based on the holes drilled in them and the parts list at the beginning of the instructions so it all worked out. The biggest problem is that the ladder rungs are too short and the holes for the wooden pegs for the ladder did not line up so the rungs couldn't be installed correctly. Being up in the mountains and having the bed mostly put together, we had to do makeshift ladder rungs for the time being, and will have to create our own to install later. For the cost, I would hope all the parts would be the correct size, so this is disappointing. I love the configuration of the beds and how low the top bunk is. Made it work perfectly to fit in our space.Excellent!!Biggest pain in my butt I have ever put together! But it was worth it!!! I would purchase this quad bunk over and over again if I needed to. But these beds are so sturdy, I don’t think I will have to!!! If you want something that separates into separate beds, this isn’t that kind of bunk. But if you have multiple children or have one or two that have multiple friends that stay the night, this is the bed for your needs! My oldest weighs 160 and they hold him on the bunk. The mattress I recommend twin xl. The twin mattresses are a few inches too short. I already had twin and didn’t want to spend more money. We built it with 3 people, could have really used 4. Took hours but well worth it!!! When you feel like quitting just think of all the laughs and fun nights your kids will have!The assembly was a nightmare.
