Max & Lily Fundamental Twin Low Bunk Bed, Kids Solid Wood Modern Bed Frame with Strong Wooden Slats, Non-Toxic Finishes, High Weight Capacity, Natural

This bunk bed is just what I was looking for! I have a 2 year old who was ready to transition to a bed and a 6 year old who has been begging for a bunk bed. I knew I wanted the bottom bunk to be flat on the floor so I don’t have to worry about my toddler falling from very high if she rolls off. This bed is the perfect height! If you have bigger kids there may not be enough space on the bottom, but it looks to me like she’ll be fine in there til she’s around 7-8 years old. The top bunk isn’t too high and has a nice sturdy railing. I opted to purchase a 5 inch foam mattress to allow plenty of height on the railing. After reading other reviews I also purchased a bunkie board to go under the mattress and provide additional support.Assembly was so easy!!! When I got the boxes I thought this was going to be a PAIN! I started sorting the pieces while reading the directions and thought, “I’ll just put a few of these together real quick so it’s easier when I have a whole afternoon available to assemble it”. Those few pieces went so quickly that I put a few more together and then I could see how it was all going to work. My husband took a 30 min break from work (at home lol) and we had the frame completely together! All that was left was to attach the railing and the supporting beams and it was done! Maybe 2 hrs total between the two of us. And it’s super sturdy! 400lb weight limit for the top bunk, I’ve climbed up there and made sure it felt sturdy and it really is! Excellent value, awesome bed.

Got this bunked for my 6 year old and she loves it. This bed is very sturdy and simply beautiful. I love the coloring, design, and I'm obsessed with the fact that the slide and ladder are interchangeable so i can set it up to best suit our space. I will admit set up was slightly difficult as this thing comes 100% disassembled. It took me about 3.5 hours by myself to completely put it together using only the tools provided with the bed and a phillips screw driver. The directions were easy to read and direct so it wasnt really hard to figure out just time consuming. All in all this bed is perfect and totally worth the price.

We set this up yesterday and it took almost for hours, but it feels sturdy and looks great and my daughter loves it! It's short enough that the top bunk is completely reachable for me (5'10) and the slide is low enough not to make me nervous for my toddler, and the bottom bunk is just barely off the floor so she can sleep in it without worries of a dangerous fall. I feel good about the construction after seeing how it all went together, and everything was labeled really well, it just took time and patience. The box was heavy, so getting it upstairs was a little difficult but if you're doing it alone, you could open it and bring up the pieces individually. Overall very happy with it so far!

I most certainly have never written a review this long but, I felt I needed to save people some time and frustration. The bed came nicely packaged (although the poor UPS driver who carried it in looked like he was going to keel over-the package was very heavy). I organized/separated all the screws and pieces and started to put it together by myself. I found it easier to put all the numbered pieces to the inside.I did need another person to help me connect the head and foot of the bed. All was going well until, I tried to connect the metal stabilizing bar that braces the top bunk. Somehow the tough rubber that caps both the top and bottom of this bar was also obstructing the holes where you needed to put screw through. Because the rubber was so tough, I was unable to just jam a screwdriver in it to clear the hole. I finally had to get my drill. That did the trick and the holes were then clear to continue the construction of the bed. I would say it took me several hours to put this bed together but several weeks before it was ready to sleep on.I would heartedly agree with most, that the instructions are not the best. They could have been clearer with words not just pictures.In my excitement, I put the bed together and then thought the slats were too far apart (1st photo)!!! I went to furniture stores and looked at other bunks that did not require Bunkie boards (all the slats were much closer together than this bed). More work for me!!! I decided to purchase additional bed slats through Amazon. *Classic Brands Xtreme Heavy-Duty Solid Wood Bed Support Slats Bunkie Board, Twin* ($59.00). I disconnected all the slats which I had installed and reconfigured. I took all the slats they sent with the bed (the ones meant for the top and bottom bed) and put them all on the top bed (you have to cut the cloth pieces that connect the slats (the slats originally meant for the bottom bed) and place them in between the slats (meant for the top bed) that are already connected. The additional slats I purchased, I placed on the bottom bed. The wood slats from Classic Brand only had pre-hold drills in the first and last slats but the mattress is not going anywhere on the bottom bed even with the rest of individual slats not being screwed in (3rd photo). You would most likely have to drill your own holes and screw all of them into the bed if you used these on the top bunk. On the bottom though, the WORKED GREAT!My biggest issue was my search for twin mattresses. BEWARE!!! I went to at least 8 different mattress and furniture store. There are no standard twin mattresses anymore (39x75). I took my measuring tape with me to each store and measured each twin mattress. No two were the same size and none of them were 39x75!! Who would have guessed and what is up with that!!! I broke down and bought memory foam mattresses through Amazon (although I was truly uncomfortable about purchasing a mattress which I could not try out first). These types of mattresses are the only ones that you will find that are 39X75 inches (and you do need that size for these beds). I purchased Jingwei Twin Mattress, 8-inch gel infused memory foam in a box. I could not be happier (2nd photo)!You can put the entire bed together with the hex wrenches they supply, a Phillip’s screwdriver and a mallet. No power tools required for assembly. It is very sturdy and with the extra slats I added, it is PERFECT. My granddaughters 7 and 3 love it!!!! The only reason I did not give it a 5 was the following:(1) The instructions need to be clearer.(2) I should not have had any issues with the metal stabilizing bar-which I had*** In my opinion, the slats were not close enough together to provide adequate support or safety. The manufacturer should include more slats even if that increases the cost of the bed. It would have saved a me a lot of time and frustration if the correct number of slats were included and someone had warned me about standard size twin inter spring mattresses***
