My daughter and son loves the bunk beds, and I love how it’s close to the floor as my children are smaller. I put it together myself and it took about five hours, I don’t want to say it was easy, but after I got past the overwhelming parts it flew by easier. There are at times I didn’t really go with the instructions because it didn’t seam accurate and a few of the boards while screwing in, were very delicate and some of the wood kind of cracked. Overall the beds turned out sturdy and look beautiful. The kids often have play dates and jump on the beds and the beds take it! The color was spot on, and the shiplap look is so amazing! The quality for these bunk beds i would say are better than any I have ever seen! Oh and I love how you can separate them when you get older that’s a definite plus!
