Full XL Over Queen Bunk Bed with Trundle, Convertible Heavy-Duty Metal Bed Frame with Ladder & Guardrails, Noise-Reducing Design, Space-Saving 3-in-1 Bunk Bed for Kids Teens Adults, White

Packaging:The box was very neatly packaged with all of the parts individually wrapped. That means that n one of the parts were scratched during shipping. The box was heavy, but compact enough to move down the hallway my myself on a small furniture dolly. Two people moving the box would have been better, but the weight was nicely balanced and simple enough to move myself.Assembly:The directions were very clear with well documented reference images. The holes in the images matched the holes in the bed frame so I knew exactly where to put each part. The images were also large enough to see while the instructions were on the floor and I was standing to assemble the bed. At first, I didn't like that the reference numbers where on the wrappings for each part instead of on the parts themselves. But, I see this as a better option now since I didn't have to peel any number stickers off of multiple parts of the ben frame after assembly. The stickers were also consistent in their location so I could easily find each part without having to question if I was assembling the parts correctly or not.The assembly process was straight forward and I was able to do most of the assembly by myself. The screw holes are all threaded well, so none of the screws got cross threaded. I also didn't have to struggle with any misaligned holes, which was a blessing.Final Result:The bed frame put together is very sturdy. My oldest child had a similar bed years ago and it was questionable after assembly as to how well it would stand up to his weight and movement. I don't have these concerns with this bed frame. I tried to shake it and twist it by hand, but it's firm and doesn't move. The parts are heavy duty and I feel comfortable with my youngest child abusing it as she does most furniture.

Total Assembly Time: 1hr 45minAll the parts are included to make either 2 separate beds OR 1 bunk bed. No need to buy extra parts.The product arrived in a long and fairly heavy brown box. While the box was a little beat up, the product inside was in good condition. 2 rails had small dings, but it was purely cosmetic.The bed itself is matte black all around, including the screws and related hardware. Instructions consisted of about 6 full size pages and in color. Instructions were very easy to read and follow.From removing the contents from the box to putting in the last screw, the total assembly time was just short of 2hrs. Though I'll admit I used a power drill to help speed things up a bit. Working by myself, assembly wasn't difficult at all.Testing, the bed holds my 200-pound person with ease. No creaking and unsoundly noises.Pros: There are plastic feet so the bed posts don't scratch or dig into the floor/carpet.No additional hardware is needed to go between bunk bed and 2 individual bedsNo box spring or anything similar needed. Mattress goes right on top of the frame.My cons are mainly regarding the assembly.Instructions make zero mention of putting washers on screws eventhough it includes a big bag of washers. If someone is mindlessly following instructions, it's easy to forget the washers all together.Part labeling could be better. The plastic that the parts are in is labeled, but when unboxing I had a few items slip out of their bag so I questioned a few pieces during the assembly process.But honestly, this bed is easy to put together and is ultimately quite sturdy and secure.

We got this bed for our guest bedroom. It was easy to setup. Feels fairly sturdy, but I don’t know if it’s comfy because we’re not planning to ever sleep in this ourselves. I might update after we’ve had our visitors share their opinion.There was one part of the assembly I disliked and that was how unclear it was at what point I should put the supporting legs under the middle of the bed. And since you tape a strip down over the beam you can’t easily correct your mistake.

Note: I am fairly certain that the 41.4w dimension in the image from the seller is incorrect because it states 56.4 inches above the image, but the actual image shows 41.4. I would like to clarify that this is indeed 56.4 inches wide and can accommodate a full-size mattress.One thing that has been bothering me is that I have two side bedrooms that I want to use as guest rooms. However, when a guest is not here, I don't want to have one of the rooms all to myself for work or gaming. This bed is perfect for that reason. I can stack it for kids when family comes over for events and need a place to stay or separate it into two beds in two different rooms for adult family or friend visitors.Assembling the bed seems easy; most of the parts are one piece and straightforward. However, since this is two beds in one, it does take more time to set up.FYI, I’m not sure how many people are still into spring beds, but considering the bed frame uses metal bars instead of wood planks, I personally recommend pairing it with a newer mattress made of layers of memory foam and leaning toward the firmer side compared to soft. This is one of the lessons I learned the hard way with my previous bed frame purchase.Compared to other metal frame beds I’ve purchased in the past, I really love the fact that this one comes with baffles on the side where the bars slide in; it significantly reduces the noise that most metal bed frames have, which is a huge win and shows great attention to detail from the designer.Before I purchased this bed, I also compared its total weight to that of other beds, and this one does seem to be heavier than many of the cheaper brands. However, "heavy" in this case indicates that they are willing to use more metal than necessary to ensure a sturdy overall structure, which is a huge plus here as well.

The bed worked out well for me. It was easy to put together, sturdy, and looks like it will last a long time. The design was well thought of and will be a great bunk bed for years to come.
