Canwood Base Camp Twin Over Twin Bunk Bed with Angled Ladder/Guard Rail, Espresso

Bought these for my girls, they have had them used as bunk beds and separate twin bed. We love them. The color is great and were not too difficult to assemble, but help is definitely a must. Got the mattresses at Costco and saved there as well.

We bought this about a year ago for our 2 sons then 3 & 4.5 and used the bottom bunk and a separately purchased trundle. My sisters 6 & 5 year old children had the bed and it was on her recommendation that I made the purchase. The bed looks great in the room and I was happy once it was put together. However when we went to move the little guy to the top bunk I had to convince the company through a series of emails and calls to sell me the straight ladder so that I could use the trundle once the ladder was installed. This cost extra $$. Where I'm disappointed in the bed is that from about the time our (now) 5.5 year old started sleeping in the top bunk the bed has become less sturdy and rocks whenever he crawls up and moves around in the top bunk. My sister's bed has never had this problem and hers is 3 years old while we've had it for about a year and I'm already trying to figure out how to stablize it. This is my only problem with the bed so just know that when you purchase it you may want to have a plan in place for making it more stable and if you have suggestions that would be helpful to me.

This bed is okay, at least so far. However, it arrived with broken parts even though the exterior of the box looked okay. We actually ordered 2 of these beds (the other is espresso in color and it was also damaged inside the box). We are currently trying to work out how to get the other one replaced since we opened that one first. Amazon will not replace one broken item, so we have to ship back all 5 boxes (which we had to re-package after opening the boxes to inspect the parts, etc). It has not been an easy process, so we are very hesistant to even try to return this white bed, despite the damaged parts. We may just try to repair them ourselves here at home. Disappointing to say the least! A week later...After fixing the broken piece (instead of going through the mess or returning it) this white bunk bed went together rather nicely and is overall pretty sturdy. Overall, had the shipping been smoother, this would have received an excellent review.

I received 5 boxes. Box 1 & 2 each included: 1 headboard, 1 foot board, @ slat roll. Box 3 & 4 each included: 2 side rails, 4 legs, & hardware box. Box 5: ladder & safety rails for top bunk. I assembled both beds in a couple hours including unpacking & removing a label. The only tool I used was a drill with a Phillips head bit and an Allen head bit (there is an allen wrench provided with the beds too). The beds were quite simple to assemble. They appear to be quite sturdy and don't wiggle or sway. There is a LARGE warning sticker on each headboard. The sticker is on the back so if you plan to use these as twin beds, the stickers will be against the wall. If you assemble as a bunk, one sticker will be against the wall and the other will be on the top rail, mattress side, of the bottom bunk foot board. I chose to remove this sticker. It is a paper sticker that will not just peel off. I peeled the top layer and then saturated the remnants with alcohol. The rest scraped off easily with a plastic putty knife.
