Max & Lily Solid Wood Twin Over Twin Size Low Bunk Beds for Kids with Slide and Ladder, 400 lbs Weight Capacity, 14" Safety Guardrail, Anti-Slip Steps, White

So let me start by saying this was a nightmare to install. It took us hoursssss, every single individual piece of wood was separated and there were 248 parts to install. However, that is only for the initial installation, if you ever want to move and take it apart you will not need to take all the parts and remove them. You’ll only really need to disconnect the two head boards, the slide, and the ladder once it’s assembled. Putting it all together for the first time is the hardest part, there were so many different types of screws and no words in the manual but I will say once you understood the way it was explaining to install the parts it became much easier to do. Installing it was not difficult but just time consuming and my husband and I both worked together to install it bc you will need two people to hold one side of the headboard up while the other screws it in place, none of it is heavy while you’re installing it but the box itself with everything inside of it weighs a couple hundred lbs so make sure you have 2 VERY strong men to help you carry and lift it into the room you’re installing it. My husband and I used absolutely all of our strength to get it up our stairs into our kids room and I’ll be honest it was a workout and we had to sit and drink some water after lol. Once it’s completed though the quality is very good and it’s not flimsy whatsoever (if you screwed the screws in securely). We did not attach the screws on the back for the slide or the ladder as we enjoyed being able to remove them when we needed to vacuum the floor and even without the screws on the back there are safety grips to hold them in place as well as the hooked attachments which keep them VERY secure in place during play and use. Ladder and slide do not wobble and after monitoring my 2 and 4 yr old for 20 minutes to ensure all manner of play is safe I can say from an overprotective mothers standpoint it has my seal of approval. My only concern is the metal rod used for stability on the under side I’d suggest the manufacturer perhaps have it where it’s concealed within another piece of wood or something to protect little ones heads. I will attach video and pictures of what I mean. I also want to add I love the sturdiness and quality of the slide, it’s strong and I had my doubts but I’ve watched my kids run up the slide and there’s no cracking or change in quality of the slide it’s strong and supports the weight of my kids. It’s also very easy to wipe down and keep clean.

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 absolutely love this bed. I'll start at the beginning. Delivery was fast as always and the driver was very nice. The box was in great condition and when we opened the box everything was so beautifully organized and wrapped. My husband laid the pieces out in order by number and it took him a few hours to put together. Assembly went smoothly the only thing I would complain about is the instructions, there were no words just pictures and that caused some confusion at times. The color of the bed is what I was expecting and the wood is nice quality with no cracks, chips, or smell. This was an awesome experience from start to finish and our 3 yr old loves it. Thank you to Max & Lily!

I am 5’6 and the top rail hits me right at my chest. It’s the perfect height for our 3 year old that wanted a slide bunk bed but tosses and turns all night. We did not want her falling out of bed. We’ve had the hardest time getting her to sleep in her room and have tried every trick in the book. This bed solved our problem! She thinks it’s so cool and feels like a big girl in it. Assembly is impossible to understand from the manual, so you’ll need to google the bed and follow the YouTube video. Even the YouTube video moves quickly so you’ll find yourself frustrated. There were some holes that didn’t line up evenly on the slide and that drove us crazy but we finally made it work. If you find IKEA future tough, this is the black belt fight. The overall quality and sturdiness is good, except for the slide that has a flimsy feeling panel that goes inside the rivets. I included a photo of where you can see it doesn’t line up perfectly when assembled but there is nothing sharp or seemingly unsafe about it. It’s an affordable bed and the material aligns with the price point, but not to where it feels like it will fall apart. The wood seems to be solid and not hollow. Took my husband about 12 hours to put together and he’s pretty fast usually. If you’re buying for a toddler, and nervous about the height, make sure to get a 5-6” mattress (MAX) for the top, so the guardrails actually keep your child from falling off. We had a regular twin mattress in it and laying flat, the top rail was not higher than it. She moves a lot at night and it hasn’t been an issue. Even the side openings aren’t an issue because that’s where the feet or head go. I am not a safety expert, just speaking from our experience.

This is a very sturdy bed! It took my husband about 5 hours to put together but it's worth it considering how sturdy the bed is. It doesn't smell like some reviews mentioned. The slide is a little steep but the kids (1 and 3) love it. I bought two original twin Casper mattresses which are very big for this. The bottom bunk isn't big enough for an adult to sit up on the mattress (I don't think you could even without a mattress at all). I ended up buying a bed bumper to add to the railing because with the big bed the railing is barely above the mattress. I don't think you'll have the problem if you get a smaller mattress.
