Bunk bed is great, hardware not so much. The wood is beautiful and love the color. Seems very strong - reason we bought it was because the higher weight limit than other beds. Love the drawers and the drawers in the stairs were larger than I expected so that was great. Ended up getting an 8” thick mattress for the top but a 9” would be totally fine too. I wouldn’t go thicker than 9” though probably. The problem we have is with the hardware. The screws strip right away so not even sure if we’d be able to get them back out to take the bed apart if we needed to. We were also missing some hardware. Got a replacement set sent to us no problem but that set is a gold color instead of blackish which sticks out against the color of the wood and is awful. Should we move or need to take it apart for some reason (and are able to get it apart) we will probably look for better hardware on our own.
