I put 2 of the twin platform beds together in about an hour, which amazed me because it was sooooo easy. But once I had the room situated and the beds made, the poorly planned out finishing touches really showed up. The top planks are ply wood on top with white trim and the plywood shows through no matter how you try to situate the bed on the platform. Its really frustrating....now that Im done with the whole room I feel like I need to take the mattresses off the beds and paint the top white. Just not sure where to put my 3 and 7 year old in the process since the room will smell like paint for a few days. This is something that should be highlighted before you purchase. That way you can either not buy the product, or be prepared to finish it yourself before finalizing the room.
