Bought these as they seemed sturdy and can later be used as 2 singles. They arrived with one post badly dented, faulty instructions, laborious method of slat fixing (72 screws for slats alone - into pine with knots) and a post (requires gluing) fell off in the night. The slats also creak quite a lot when person is moving, and from below, look as if they could easily snap. I sincerely hope that doesn't happen as it's only being used by my (small & light) daughter's at the moment aged 6 & 13. Have had to ban the little one from having more than one friend on the top at a time. Fingers crossed these beds survive the kids growing up and out of bunks to be used for the further purpose they were purchased for - as single beds. Even then, the beds are not of the same height, so 4 legs will need to be cut.
