My kids absolutely loves their bunkbed. It fits perfectly in their room and gives them the ability to play and have fun or sleep and relax. There are two downsides that I’ve noticed the first one is it is not an easy assembly in fact the pieces arrive in two separate boxes that are heavy to carry. From there when you open the boxes, there are a bunch of pieces like a bunch when assembling the bunkbed there are steps where two people are definitely needed.It took me two maybe three days to actually put the bunkbed together completely. I definitely recommend that when you are assembling the bunkbed, especially the top bunk make sure you have helping hands that can lift and hold up heavy objects for a good minute or so. The second thing is that the gates hinges on the bottom bunks are not super strong they can and do bend out of place with a lot of use and little weight. Because of this the gates top lock part (on both gate sides) they can get out of alignment and it can take time to get them back into place for the lock pin to slide down to the lower part to lock and secure it, it also can make it very difficult to unlock them when they are out of alignment it’s definitely a struggle to get them to slide up and out. Other than those two things the bunk bed is a great purchase and is very sturdy and the slide attachment is great feature that my kids have enjoyed from the front moments after being assembled.
