Divorce?Anonymous reviewerGreat bed once it’s built. Great price.
Assembly, however, is less Ikea bliss and more did you ever love me. At one point we stopped building a bed and started dividing up assets.
Would recommend the bed. Would also recommend assembling it with someone you’re not emotionally attached to.
The absolute last time a child of mine gets to pick their own furniture until they are fully capable of self assembly.3
Great looking bed once built! Sturdy enough for kids to sleep on.Anonymous reviewerGreat-looking bed once built, gives the kids bedroom a cool industrial vibe, feels a bit more grown up for older kids and is well built, sturdy. The only problem i would say is that it took so long to build (more like 4 to 5 hours) The base for the mattresses is very tricky to put together. It caused a lot of swearing and sweating and was just overly fiddly. Once constructed and screwed into place, it feels sturdy.4
Hmmm!Anonymous reviewerLooks ok for the price but I’d avoid for the simple fact of how difficult, confusing and nightmare they are to build! I wouldn’t recommend or purchase again.3
Uncomfortable and hard to constructAnonymous reviewerTook hours to actually construct and then when it was done, it was so uncomfortable to lie on and you could feel all the metal slats underneath not impressed.1
Absolute nightmare to buildAnonymous reviewerThis bunk bed was an absolute nightmare to build, netting covers the holes so can’t screw the screw in…took 5 hours for the Mr to build!!! Safe to say he was not amused one bit!!! Wish I would have read the reviews before building!!! 4
Great for a small spaceAnonymous reviewerThese bunk beds are really sturdy for the price and my children were really pleased with them. Only downside was that it was the most difficult thing I have ever put together. I normally love building flat pack furniture but this was a nightmare. The mesh sides were very difficult to attach and the instructions were really vague.3
Take timeAnonymous reviewerTried to rush putting these together so made mistakes that had to be undone but once they were together they are perfect for the grandchildren’s room and they love them.5
Not worth the savings.Anonymous reviewerOnce assembled this is a decent bed but it is a nightmare to assemble. I’m no stranger to Ikea products but this is in a league of its own. Just spend more on a different bed. Trust me.2
IdealAnonymous reviewerLooks great , kids love it , easy to order and collect , good price
Only downside ! Nightmare to put together!4
Bad DesignAnonymous reviewerI bought the bunk bed and loft bed together. Value for money as was very cheap. But putting together was awful. Very poor design and wouldn't be able to rebuild if moving. Nearly threw it in the bin a few times.2
Sturdy, but horrendous buildAnonymous reviewerRequired for assembly - screwdriver, Allen key (provided), and a divorce lawyer. Nothing is labelled. The instructions may aswell be dipped in the bath first for all the sense they make and you will need the patience of seven saints to push through the task of building this.
Took four hours from start to finish. The mesh at step one (yes step one!!) was ripped just trying to get the first screw in and there was many more to come.
This is pure guess work. It's very solid when assembled but for the pure aggravation alone would not recommend. The Mr builds hospital beds for a living for context and could do that blindfolded but this, this is a job for NASA.
Delivery, was absolutely exemplary. Lovely guys cannot fault them, friendly, helpful, the text updates was amazing. Although maybe they knew what we had to come...
Pay the extra charge to assemble. The avengers may come. Stay married people. Not worth the agro. Quality and sturdiness amazing for money. Assembly, horrific.1
Quality of bed is amazing but????Anonymous reviewerIKEA should add more bars under the mattress because the net makes it so hard to assemble. Ufffffffffff. I want my Money3
Tuffing Bunk BedAnonymous reviewergreat quality, sturdy and straight forward to build. Daughter loves it5
reviews are trueAnonymous reviewerfirst - assembly. it took a professional elite assembler just over 2 hours, and he said he already installed 6 of these in his life. therefore assembly it's an absolute pain. so glad I paid for assembly so I didn't have to go through what these people here have. once assembled by professional it looks good and pretty sturdy but not as sturdy as expected by me. it's very cheap bed, but if you add assembly, delivery, mattress etc. it works out quite at a price. my son is over the moon with it, however I will in the future go for something easier to assembled/ disassemble.4
Not like itAnonymous reviewerIt not confortable and too big for kids.2
Absolutely shockingAnonymous reviewerAbsolute headache to build the netting covers holes worst bunk beds ever purchased have to have the patience of a saint1
Solid Bed but absolute headache to assembleAnonymous reviewerRead the other reviews regarding the nightmare assembly and thought it couldn't possibly be that bad. Oh how I was wrong. This took several hours to assemble with lots of choice words and I'm extremely savvy with DIY. This has to be the top worst IKEA furniture to assemble. It is the ultimate "Divorce maker". The mesh is an absolute nightmare as it covers almost all the screw holes as others have said. Once built up though, it does look fantastic, it's really solid and creates tons of space and I like the fact the slats are metal as my kids seem to easily destroy the wooden ones.3
Stand the test of time!Anonymous reviewerWe bought two of these bunks - one for each of our boys. They were about 3 and 5 years old when we bought them and they are now being replaced after almost 10 years. I'm going to freecycle the bunks because they are still in great condition - the paint isn't chipped or scratched anywhere. Fantastic value for money and the kids loved them. Hopefully someone else will get as much use from them as we already have.
I would agree with the comments about the slats and resolving the issue with some ply or other wood - but, for us at least, this wasn't an issue until the boys were much older. There are also choices of using thicker mattresses (but you need to be aware of the mattress depth versus the guardrail height - if you have little ones and the mattress is too deep then they might be able to roll over the guard rail).5
BunksAnonymous reviewerAbsolute nightmare to assemble need the patient off a saint 1
Great valueAnonymous reviewerWe purchased these beds for two teen boys sharing a box room and the frame itself is very good and sturdy. We had read the reviews regarding the metal slats and that they were uncomfortable for some, so bought some sheets of MDF to go ontop of slats and it worked perfectly. Beds are now comfortable and only reason i didn't give a 5 star was having to buy the MDF. Great bunk for the money.4
