Bedz King Stairway Bunk Beds Twin Over Full, 4 Step Drawers, 2 Storage Drawers, Gray

So, you want a bunk bed, but you're worried the top bunk will fall and crush your first-born. Have no fear!!! We bought this for our 4 and 5-yo for Christmas. Listen, they were SUPER jazzed. This bunk bed is awesome. The under-bed drawers are ok (eh), the side-shelves are cool, and the stairs are awesome! If you're concerned about a little one having to get up and go potty in the middle of the night, get a bedset like this.. with stairs. These stairs are big, and they include a strip of velcro on each stair to avoid slipping. The bed is AWESOME. My kids had their own rooms (#humblebrag) and now they want to share so they can sleep in this. === CONSTRUCTION DETAILS ==== So this is why your here. How well-built is this? Well.. it's build GREAT. I do a smattering of amateur woodworking and have build a lot of the furniture in my house. I have NO concern about this bed. Firstly, the hardware is HUGE. If you're put together pressboard furniture together in your past (and you likely have) it's normally these weak cam or barrel nuts... maybe some dowels. All of the major joints on this bed have like 6" metal fasteners. No hyperbole here... HUGE fasteners. Generally, there are two screws, one lagged directly into the other board, and the other threaded into a nut. Now, I take my dowels seriously. In woodworking, dowel joinery is a legit method of joinery... if done right. Generally, on these pieces of furniture, dowels are kinda loose and used (seemingly) for alignment. Do yourself a favor and get some Titebond wood glue, and glue all your dowel joints. You'll be amazed at the difference (do it on your next Ikea bookshelf too). With all my dowels glued, the assembly is study as a ROCK! While I am WAY over the recommended weight limit, I get climb up on and shake HARD back and forth. You'll want to do this too to feel good about it. The bottom/top bed connection is a dowel joint... which made me wary at first. But... it's roughly a 1" dowel, and you send in two screws from each side. If you glue this joint also, it's rock-solid. I can't stress this enough, it's SOLID (with glue). === TIME === I take "requires two people" as a challenge. I was able to do this by myself in about 7-8 hours total. The beds took about 3 hours, the stairs took another 3 hours, and the drawers took maybe 2. When you buy this, you're going to get a s*** load of boxes. PAY ATTENTION to the descriptions. Don't open them all. Open the bed boxes first, then the stairs, and finally the drawers. If you want to take on the solo-challenge, there are two tricky steps, both on the bed assembly. The first -- and probably the hardest -- is putting together the top bed. You're trying to bring together the head and footboard and THREE!! rails each on the sides (the bottom bed, while bigger, only has one rail on each side, so is WAY easier). To do this solo, basically install each rail as LOOSELY as you can from bottom to top. You should be able to get the top rail in while the bottom rail is just barely threaded. The second tricky thing -- which may be obvious -- is setting the top bunk on the bottom. It can be done solo. Put the top bed on your back and drop the top bed on the sides of the bottom bed. Slide the legs of the top to the dowels inserted in the top. Then, CAREFULLY on each side slide the sides into dowels... there is enough play in the dowels plus width on the sides to let you do this. Or... get a friend! I wanted to see if it could be done by an out-of-shape middle-aged man... and the answer is yes. Lastly... like any piece of furniture that has some MDF, it's going to smell a bit. I recommend building it, and letting it air out for at least 2-3 days before sleeping. TLDR; AWESOME!!!!!!!! STURDY!!!!

Great quality! Well made and very well packaged for delivery. Came in six very heavy boxes, but great care was taken to package all boxes so that nothing was damaged during shipment. My husband used wood glue while putting bed together to make it extra stable and it is solid. We went with a sea creature theme for our grandkids room & it is fantastic! So happy with this purchase. Highly recommend!

Four stars just because the fedex guy delivered to house next door and not ours!! But this bed is so cute. Came in 6 boxes all clearly marked. We assembled the stairs first , than bottom than top bed. Took two semi handy guys about 5 hours. Just read the directions , start at #1 and you will be fine. We did organize all the pieces bu same numbers so the process was easy. The stairs are sturdy and all drawers fit perfect. There were couple of paint chips but nothing visible. So directions say no power tools but we did use them and no problem. Overall the bed is so great qnd kids are excited. Tip. We opened up the boxes in the garage and let them sit for two days so the smell of the wood/paint would air out.

I bought this bed for my 9 year old daughter, and she loves it! Let me tell you something...this bed is sturdy! They provide a liberal amount of bolts and screws for assembly (as well as some extras just in case), and they do a pretty good job of securing everything. One thing I did do was purchase several bottles of super glue from Home Depot just because I wanted to go that extra mile, and I used it in a few key ways. First, the drawers that go under the bed. The bottoms of these drawers are not solid wood, and if they see heavy use I could imagine the bottoms possibly coming out. They aren't flimsy or anything, mind you. I just wanted them extra secure. So after I put those drawers together I put a line of super glue along every edge of the bottom pieces, front and back. Those suckers are rock solid now!!! I also applied some super glue to the dowels on pieces I would keep together if I were to break the bed down for a move. Just for some added structure. In addition, most of the screws had a little dab of super glue applied to prevent them from loosening over time. In no way is my use of super glue an indication that this bed needed it. It didn't. I just super glue everything I come across. My wife is currently super glued to the kitchen where she belongs. Haha. Just kidding (she is giving me the evil eye right now). I did super glue her favorite coffee mug back together, though, after I broke it. Anyways! This bed is a winner. I carried all of the boxes in myself, and I assembled everything myself. I event lifted the assembled top bunk onto the bottom bunk myself. However, I do *not* recommend that you regular folk do this. As my daughter will attest, I am made of steel, and I can do anything. Seriously, get someone to help you for some of the steps. I highly recommend you use an electric impact gun or drill. There are a LOT of things you will need to be turning, and it will take you easily 5x longer if you are doing it by hand. Also, don't expect your kids to help you. Mine said she was going to, and she only went in there seemingly to constantly get in my way. I highly do not recommend them as a helper. Buy this bed. You won't regret it. Oh, and the instructions are not as difficult as people are making them out to be. They are made of pretty clearly noted pictures that show you exactly what to do at every step. If you can read Dr. Suess books you can build this bed.

Good quality. Very sturdy and looks amazing once it is put together. Only negative thing to say is that my husband (who is a big-time-handyman had issues putting it together. Lots of cussing and swearing! He put it together in sections in the garage and when we went to being the top loft bed in my daughters room it wouldn't fit from the hallway, under the doorway, into her room. Even after taking off the door frame, my husband had to take part of the bed frame off and reassemble in the room. It is a very big job putting g it together! Plan for hours and hours. Drawers coming from the stair-steps are spacious as are the ones coming from under the full-size bed. (Those drawers slide a bit wobbly, but not a big deal). Love everything anout the bed now that it is up. Beautiful.

I can’t comment on assembly because we paid a friend to put it together because our schedules just didn’t allow for it. It took him about 4 hours on his own to do so which feels pretty fair for a project of this size with one person! I think I love this bed more than my 3 and almost 7 year olds do! Though, they do both adore their new bed. I am all about extra storage so I was very particular when looking for a bed and I knew I wanted the staircase format because of the youngest only being 3, it just makes me feel safer. The drawers are so spacious and open so easily and I love the storage cubbies on the side! One holds their Amazon Echo & their diffuser with plenty of depth to spare for size reference. I love the anti slip strips on the steps especially since the wood is very slick and smooth. As far as sturdiness, I am impressed. I exceed the recommended weight for the top bunk but it does not waver if I have to climb up to get the 3 year old out of bed in the morning (she sneaks up there to sleep with her big sister sometimes). I was very skeptical about buying a bed online so I still went and looked around at local furniture stores and the ONLY bed I found that provided the extra storage I liked and the staircase style steps was about $600 more than I paid for this bed and it did NOT include the delivery fee. I’m happy I went with this bed and saved the extra money. The quality seems to be about what you’d get from a furniture store but you can save some money in the process! The boxes it comes in are VERY heavy (to be expected) but I also really like that each box is labeled with what parts are inside and the box that includes the directions tells you that!! That was something I was absolutely not expecting. I would definitely recommend this bed. (P.S. we ordered Aveline 8” mattresses off of Amazon for both bunks and they fit great! While I haven’t slept on them, they seem to be working great for the kids).

Absolutely one of the best items we have EVER purchased on Amazon! So worth the price! Definitely took a long time to assemble and yes the boxes were heavy. Tons of pieces and will be intimidating when it arrives. BUCKLE UP AND ENJOY THE RIDE! So worth it! Our son loves it! It’s durable, solid, well made, DOES NOT FLEX UNDER WEIGHT OR ANYTHING. Very well made. Materials are wood and finished smooth. Everything needed is included expect a few basic tools. We even waited two extra weeks to come back in stock!

Bought this bunkbed in 2015. It is now early 2018. We have somewhat enjoyed this bunkbed, though it is very cheaply made and many aspects feel flimsy. It isn't inexpensive at nearly $1000, so this was disappointing, but it had the features we wanted. A few months ago the support beam for the bottom bunk snapped in half. It was wood that was fused together with a weak seam in the middle, rather than a solid piece of wood - so it was pretty much guaranteed to break before too long. My husband thought it would be an easy fix, but it is an odd size - contacted the company for support, but it has been a week, and I haven't heard anything back. Overall, would not buy this again. I've always had concerns about the build quality - which have now been proven to be poor. The stairs are also falling apart, after light use for less than 3 years. Definitely doesn't hold up well over time (I expected it to last as least as long as our kids were little). And worse than the build quality - the customer service seems to be non-existent.
