Question: If I want to convert the bed to side by side, how long does it take to do this? How many steps are there?
Document: I was excited to see my shipment come in, the wood is great, the size is perfect, maybe. I still haven't put it together because the hardware didn't come in with the package. Still waiting for the hardware. I hope getting the hardware will not take long.
I bought this bed for my two daughters recently, and my wife and I assembled it together. We had a little difficulty because the instructions weren't as clear as they could have been, but we still managed to figure it out. There were a couple of times we had to take some of the stuff apart and rebuild it because we'd get a piece backwards. Some of the screws also didn't fit in the premade holes.Now that it's up though, the kids love it, and it feels very sturdy.
do not buy this if you want a quality bunk bed this bunk bed could have ended my son in the hospital. the frame broke in half and my son only ways 120lb  he won't to go and lay in bed and the frame broke and the top bunk thank god didn't fall and squish him. now my on of my kids have to sleep in my bed will my other has to sleep on the floor with only a mattress. hate that this happened I hope this doesn't happen again.
After the first week the ladder broke so we had to use a step stool to get to the top bunk. Now the beds just fell apart. The side rails on both beds cracked (pictures are included with this review). The seller still does not return calls and now this bunkbed is in the trash and my grandchild is without a bed. I will NEVER buy a bed from this company again or Amazon for that matter.
Andcustomer service is "VERY POOR"  They may feel that this is beyond warranty but I also feel they couldoffer assistance as what a new side board would cost. The bottom bunk of this bed is now rendered useless.It can not be slept in at all. I have spent  a lot of money on Amazon and this is the first review I have ever written.All I can say is if you buy this bed you most likely will be very disappointed like we are.
Let me first start by saying I usually dont take time to write reviews.This product compelled me to write one and I am sure you would do the same after assembling this bed.My wife and I started the search for a bunk bed for our 5 and 2 1/2 year olds few weeks back. We checked out Walmart, kmart, sears, bunkbedkingz and various other sites and hundreds of beds.
Easy to assemble, although not perfect. One or two of the screws we were not able to fasten correctly. The only issue was with the side borders for the top bunk bed. Quality is very good for both the wood, the instructions and even the screws. Design could use a couple more support boards for underneath the mattresses. I would buy again from this manufacturer. We bought the bunk bed for two boys 4 and 7. They love them.
I can see these beds lasting a long time for my boys!
We bought this bed less then 6 months ago. And the bottom bunk had never been used untilDecember 19th, 2013 when the child that was going to sleep in the bed sat down and theentire side of the bed rail split half way down. The split started where the screw was for assembly.I contacted King's Brand Furniture and asked how we could rectify the problem. As of date I have notheard a word back from the furniture company. I have also notified Amazon and have not received muchhelp through them either.
There is a reason why these cost 50% less than all other brands. Very cheap and flimsey material. The locking nuts that are recessed in the wood came out under 5lbs of torque and the side rail bends under slight tention. This is an outright dangerous bed.
Answer: You'll have to assemble the top and bottom beds all the way to the last set of instructions, which is when you mate the top bed to the bottom bed with the provided dowels in the 4 bed posts.  Now, the top and bottom beds are not completely identical; for example, the legs of the top bed appear to be longer than the bottom bed due to the headspace needs in the bunk bed configuration - plus note how the the bedposts extend to different lengths past the headboards.
