Harper & Bright Convertible Wood Twin-Over-Twin Bunk Bed with Storage Drawers and Ladder – Can Be Divided Into Two Daybeds (White)

Great product!
This is exactly what we wanted! It is good quality, seems durable and looks great! It is going to be perfect when our grandchildren visit!It was easy to put together. It took us about 4 hours. I recommend 2 people and an electric screwdriver! Don’t be in a hurry and follow the instructions.

Assembly challenges, still an awesome value
Just finished assembling the full over full grey with two drawers option. Took me 7 hours while moving at a moderate, consistent pace, and I’m fairly experienced with these things. The people that claimed to put it together in 1-2 hours must be like those people that work for Nascar that can take off and put on four new tires in 8 seconds.Approximately 2 of the hours were spent dealing with and working around manufacturer issues. Holes not lining up at all. No pilot holes for some small screws. No large holes at all for large bolts, etc. There were a few instances where I had to improvise and make my own holes and use my own screws. If you don’t feel comfortable making small improvisations, such as drilling pilot holes for alternative screw positions, I’d recommend getting something else.Also, if you don’t have a power drill, now is the time to invest in one. Get some hex bits, as well as the traditional bits. For this project alone it’ll save you a few hours. I would have lost my mind if I had to use the provided hex wrench to assemble this whole thing. There are approximately 200 screws in total.I was able to assemble the entire thing myself without any help, except for a step where both the upper and lower part are assembled separately and you need to pick up the upper part and set it on top of the lower. However, with some modification to the instructions, I can imagine it being possible to install the top bed on top of the lower portion, rather than separately.One of the nice things about this bed is the ~3.1 inch spacing between the 14 slats per bed. Almost every other bunk bed, even those at popular furniture chains, only have like 8 slats per bed, each spaced 6-7 inches apart, which is not appropriate for mattresses that you don’t intend use with a box spring (and you can’t really use them with bunk beds, there’s no room) – mattresses in these cases aren’t supported well and also won’t properly support your kids. But with this bed and only a few others out there that have proper 3 inch spacing, this isn’t a problem at all.The height from the top bed slats to the side rail comes at ~11.75 inches. Using a 10 inch mattress is really pushing it, as you’ll only have less than 2 inches of the rail to stop your child from falling off. I’d only use a 10 inch mattress for a child that has a great proven track record of not falling off the bed at night. Otherwise I’d stick to 8 inches. 9 inches would be okay, but 9 inch firm spring mattresses are hard to find. You aren’t supposed to use memory foam and plush mattresses with your children, as they don’t offer the proper support for their growing bodies. A 6 inch mattress, I feel, would be too shallow.Altogether, fairly great value, despite the assembly challenges that took a bit of added time.

Worst thing I’ve ever had to assemble
This bed is the worst designed bed to be assembled by the owner. It requires a lot of screwing directly into the wood with no pilot holes, measuring where to put pieces to be screwed in and with measurements provided in millimeters. I stopped in the middle of assembly to write this review. I would stay away from this unless you’re handy and have a full day you want to spend.

Great Bed!
Much better quality than expected!! Very happy with it! Sturdy!!
