Solid bed, some troubleshooting may be required
"We’ve had this bed for nearly 3 years now and it’s served us really well so far. We have two of them, and they’ve both held up about the same. It’s not a perfect bed, but we appreciate that it’s made entirely of solid wood, making it easy to shore up and modify without worrying about damaging the integrity of the materials. We have found some things to consider after a few years of wear and tear: 1) We have to retighten the screws every so often or the bed sways terribly when the kids climb up. As they get older (now 11 & 9, 55/50lbs) the structure is definitely less stable, but tightening up all the screws once or twice a year helps. I would also recommend checking all screws any time the bed is moved throughout the room. We will likely add some bracing as well. 2. We bought the white wash color and it’s definitely a LIGHT wash. When we opened the box, there were several spots that had basically no coloring at all, and the company was very gracious to give us a partial refund when I sent pictures. However, we’ve noticed that over time it’s faded even more. Painted options probably have much better longevity. 3. As all the screws start to loosen over time, the very short screws that cover the pre drilled holes for adding accessories like the desk or lower bunk bed tend to fall out randomly. This is especially frustrating because we have toddlers hanging out in their older siblings’ rooms, finding these screws and putting them in their mouth. I do wish there was an option to plug them with something more permanent. As much we’ve had to modify and improve on these beds, we’re still really happy with our purchase. We feel confident that with continued maintenance and care, these beds will last decades, in particular due to their quality material and overall sound construction. If you’re on the fence, I’d say wait for a sale, but go for it."
