I bought this bed/futon for my daughter's room. After comparing prices with local furniture stores and at Wal-mart, I found this bed set much less expensive than any other set I looked at. Even after paying the over 100 dollar shipping charge, the cost of the bed was less than local stores could offer.

It was relatively easy to set up. It took me less than an hour. Very few tools are needed beyond a screwdriver. It takes at least 2 people to set up the loft on the futon frame.

The bed is made of metal with a wood "veneer" on the four main posts. The upper bunk and lower futon courch seat is securely anchored to the four posts by metal screws. The upper and lower portions sit upon 4 vertical bolts. (It takes two people (three is better) to lift the upper bed on the lower frame.) Once set up, the bed is fairly sturdy, although it does sway a bit with my daughter in the upper bunk. I do not get the sense that the bed is unstable however; all bunk beds sway a bit. My daughter says the only thing she does not like about the bed is the ladder - it hurts her bare feet to climb to the upper loft.

The lower futon bed/seat is purchased separately. It easily folds out to become a spacious bed. It has a floor rest in the middle of the pull-out frame for added strength and stability. There is nothing flimsy about the futon support - it is strong and very functional.

I like the color of the bed and the simplicity of style. Much more elaborate and stylish lofts can be purchased, but at a much greater cost. My daughter likes the futon, as she can have a friend sleep-over and use the lower level.

My bed frame had some parts missing - hardware screws. I contacted the company in New York, and they sent the missing parts. There was some confusion on the exact parts, since the instructions provided with the bed did not exactly match the model of the bed!

This is a very heavy item and thus the shipping costs are high. If you can buy locally, you save over 100 dollars in shipping.

This would have garnered 5 of 5 stars had the parts been present and the instructions appropriate to the bed. I give the company credit in working with me to get the replacement parts.

wE DECIDED TO GET BUNK BEDS FOR WHEN THE GRANDKIDS COME OVER AND WE ALREADY HAD A GOO FUTON SO THIS IS THE BEST SOLUTION!
IT IS VERY STURDY AND GOOD LOOKING

We bought this bed for my 13 year old son for Christmas, so he could have friends over and have not have them sleep on a cot. The bed was very easy to put together, and I was pleasantly suprised at the quality. Most of the bed is sturdy metal; the bedposts are wood. It looks really nice and is very solid. As another reviewer said, the packaging and instructions speak to the quality and commitment of the manufacturer, and I agree that this manufacturer is committed to putting out a good product.

One recommendation I would make is to order the futon mattress/cushion online along with the bed. I thought that we could find one in the stores locally, but no such luck.

Our cats have figured out a way to get up on the top bunk and really like it up there!

I almost bought a futon bunk bed at twice the price and half the quality, then luckily stumbled onto this product. I knew the moment I started opening the shipping carton, which was packed with extreme care, this was going to be a great product. If you are that careful packing your product you must have a lot of pride in your product. When assembling the product you immediately sense there were no corners cut when designing this bunk bed. It is attractive, functional and very study. It's just a great product for what you pay.

This bunk bed is very well made for the price. Assembly was easy. Recommend for teenagers or guest room.

The product is great, but the firm used for shipping in my area are clowns and unreliable....

Elegance and function combine to give this contemporary bunk bed a striking appearance. The design gives a stylish modern look crafted with durable steel framing. Designed with safety in mind, the bed includes full length guardrails and a sturdy integrated ladder. Great for any space-saving design needs. Unlike other twin bunk beds, this bed also converts into 2 twin beds. Mattresses and bedding NOT included!

I bought this set for my two oldest girls ages 4 & 5, they LOVE the bed and so do I! It is very sturdy and not bulky. My brother and fiancé put this together in about an hour, no issues what so ever. The fact that the beds can be separated into two twin beds is a huge plus. If taken care of properly I'm sure these beds can last a long while or at least until the child out grows the bed. I purchased two regular twin size mattresses for the bunks, rather than getting a bunk bed mattress or cheap mattress that wouldn't last as long as a regular mattress. Great space between the two beds also, great investment and I highly recommend it!

Agree with the other reviewers:

1) Assembly takes 2-3 hours if you don't make any mistakes and you're used to assembling boxed furniture (I did it myself, alone, and even with breaks didn't spend more than 3 hours).

2) Be sure to put the H-bar with the 7 holes down

3) Assemble the ENTIRE FRAME first--skip the slats until the very end. There is actually no point that I could discern to explain why the instructions don't have you build the entire frame (sides, ladder) prior to the slats. If you skip the slats and make a mistake with the assembly, you do not have to change the slats. I can't IMAGINE what unpopping all those slats would be like, because just putting them in the first time was a complete pain. I used a hammer; only one plastic "holder" broke.

Looks really cute.

We've had the bed for about a month now and the kids love it. It's sturdier than I'd expected and there is plenty of room between bunks. HOWEVER, the assembly instructions for the bed are missing some VITAL information.

One of the cross bars that make up the long side of the top bunk (cross bar H for those who may actually purchase and assemble) has five large holes on one side, and five large holes and two small holes on the other. In Step 3 of the instructions, you are instructed to connect the end supports of the bed with the cross bars. What you are NOT told is that upper cross bar H MUST be connected with the seven-hole side facing DOWN. Otherwise, you will not be able to connect the ladder (which you will not discover until you get to Step 6!) This important detail is not articulated or illustrated AT ALL in the instructions. By the time I realized the mistake I had been misled to make, I would have had to disassemble the entire top bunk in order to get the ladder on, undoing and redoing about an hour's worth of work. Call me lazy, but I chose to simply leave the ladder off. We now have to help our 7-year-old top-bunk-dweller into bed every night. (one positive note: we don't have to worry about our 4-year-old bottom-bunk-dweller trying to climb to the top bunk).

This oversight on the manufacturer's part is not only egregious but potentially dangerous. Though we are generally satisfied with the bed so far, unless and until they correct the instructions, I would not recommend (unless you are fortunate enough to read this review before you try to put it together...).

No sooner did we get 2 sets of these bunk beds that I found Walmart sells the exact same thing for $149 online with free shipping to the store. I always thought Amazon was the best deal in town excluding maybe winning a low bid on eBay. Anyway, putting aside that we paid too much for the bunk beds on Amazon, they do require a full day's work to assemble: seemingly hundreds of small, different sizes of everything. The instructions call for a 9" top bunk mattress which is clearly too high for absolute certainly the child would not roll over the rail. The bunk bed is sturdy and the side rails perfectly high enough when using a 6" top mattress.

Overall, I was pleased with this bed. Putting it together went really well--except for popping in the little plastic locks(my fingers will never be the same), and the part when I went to screw in the ladder, and realized one of the holes was only drilled on one side of the rail. Luckily I own a drill, and a ridiculous number of drill bits to go with it--so rather than taking out all those hellish little plastic pieces(which wouldn't have been there if I'd waited and done it in step 7 instead of before), I drilled a new hole--worked great:)

There were a few reasons I chose this bed--first the price, you can't beat $149(I should have waited two days and saved a couple dollars), the fact you can separate them out into two beds, and there's actually space to sit up on the bottom bunk. I can't stand bunk beds you can't sit up in.

The bed is sturdy--and even though it took me a long, long, time to set up(in fairness I'm a slow builder), it seems like it can handle the abuse my boys are sure to heap on it.
