NovogratzMaxwell Metal Bunk Bed Frame for Kids and Teens, with Angled Ladder, High Guardrail and Metal Slats, No Boxspring Required, Underbed Storage Space, Twin-Over-Full, Gray

This bunk bed is worth every penny! We researched bunk beds for several days and read hundreds of reviews and finally settled on this one. We selected the twin / full model in blue. We were a bit apprehensive about the quality as the price was so low. It arrived in perfect shape in a very large and heavy box. There were a couple of bags filled with a variety of hardware and clips. Assembly was not impossible, but it did take about 2 hours. My husband assembled it himself. Directions were decent, but you really have to pay attention and make sure you don’t accidentally install pieces upside down as you’ll deeply regret that if you have to undo it…..Once assembled, we were totally impressed. It is a sturdy and quiet frame. It doesn’t squeak and doesn’t shake or feel like it’s going to fall apart when someone climbs up the ladder. It does sway slightly, but it’s definitely heavy duty. Also, love the fact that the weight limit on top is 250 pounds and the full bunk on the bottom has a 400 pound weight limit. So if you are in need of a spare bed for an adult(s) this is a great option.The frame is well constructed and the powder coating is very nice. The price is cheap, but this is NOT a cheap piece of junk. We have had this set for almost 4 months with active grandsons using it on a regular basis. We did end up placing a sheeting of press board under each mattress. We bought inexpensive mattresses on Amazon as well. The set is attractive and comfortable. A great addition to our guest room. Highly recommend!

We bought this for our daughter's birthday. She absolutely loves it. It took my husband and I about 45 minutes to put together. It does squeak a little bit now that she's had it for about a year; however, she loves the desk, the shelving unit, and it really does make her room seem larger! I'd definitely recommend this lofted bed to anyone looking for one.

I share this bed with my toddler who sleeps on the bottom. Putting it together took quite a bit longer than I hoped, but the instructions were very clear and I didn't have to try to translate any poorly translated english, and after sleeping on it for several weeks, I can confidently say I'm not going to break it as an adult on the top bunk. It does shake so I have to get in bed slowly to not wake my daughter, but I've definitely been in much more precarious bunk beds so this one is pretty solid.All in all, good quality, I expect it to last many years, but I did lose quite a few layers of skin getting pinched by the bar spacers so maybe wear gloves. I'm also really glad I didn't have to have any tools to put it all together. I'd say it's worth the money and probably buy it again if I needed another.

I'm reviewing this because amongst items one must assemble, this bunk, by far, had the clearest, best written instructions. The header says have a helper...I'm a senior with some joint issues and I live along. I had the box delivered to a room inside (well worth the few extra dollars...I would not have been able to manage this on my own. I opened it and laid out all the pieces...lots of them. The next day I began assembly. Each piece is well marked; the 'parts' kit is also well marked so no confusion on which bolts etc to use where. Working alone I did the side assemblies. I had a visitor at an appropriate time...I needed another pair of hands to attach the main rails so it would stand up. She assisted with holding one side while I attached the rail to the other and did two lower bolts that would have been difficult for me to reach. After that, I was solo again. The manual suggests 1-1/2 hours to completion; I likely took more like 7 or 8 over the course of a couple of days. In the end I had one question and called the company. Super service with virtually no wait for a customer support agent. The bed supports me well and I am not a light-weight. If I had any complaint it was only that the Amazon offer did not show alternate colors. My bunk is gray; given the option I would have picked their blue model. Regardless, this is well made, very sturdy, and looks just fine. Every single fitting was in the right place and in the odd situation, one person can do the assembly job.

The instructions were easy to follow from the pictures and I was able to install it alone, though it took me about 4 and a half hrs. My challenges were with two parts.1. I found it difficult fixing 3 of the "P" slats for the lower bunk, because when one side fits the other refuses. I had to improvise by using paper to hold the other side that wont fit in place.2. The fixing of the no (1) screws for the outer guard rail (F) in the upper bunk. You have to fix this screw first before fixing the one on the side. I was doing it the other way and it was not fitting in. This is because the screw is done from under which is a bit difficult.Overall, the bed looks very sturdy and great value for money!

assembly took awhile and bed is VERY sturdylots of storage underneath [ up to 9-1/2 high at center bar ]I ordered a pair of drawers here on amazon and they work perfectly underneath
