Phoenix Twin Bunk Bed with Ladder, Black, Space-Saving Design, Solid Wood Construction

LOVE!!! Not just like. Let me tell ya WHY. I labored long and hard over many bunk bed reviews bouncing back and forth. I read the reviews about missing parts, cracked boards etc. I can say this, though. Not only did the company making this product do an amazing job, but the shipper and Amazon just ROCKED IT!!! LOOK, there are products you buy that are good, do the trick and you are happy. We sort of expect that, even though every package we get on time and in one piece is a finely tuned melody of production, QC, packaging, transport and delivery all coming together to make a song for each customer. It is a feat. We are really spoiled. So thanks all! Just sayin' On to my review: Yes, when this huge two piece delivery came to my door attached to two polite and very strong young men toting it seemingly effortlessly AND in record time (given how large this bunk bed set is), I was THRILLED!!! I got the triple bunk, because I have three grandkids and the two boys are climbers. The third grand is only 2months, but growing fast). When they stay at my house, which is endowed with only two bedrooms, I needed a place to let them play as well as sleep, while I kept the baby in her crib safely with me at night. So, that said, being that I bought the triple bunk I got TWO separate packages about 7' x 3' x 2' (approx.). When I opened the first package, I saw the directions for putting together the double (not triple) bunk. "Oh no", I exclaimed. I called Amazon, who promptly called me back and put me on the line with the shipping company. They did have the other manual on-line in a printable version. Although I had no printer. Sigh. Good thing I opened the second package. It contained the instruction manual (how to assemble) for the triple bunk. Yippeeee. I put these together on my own, MOSTLY. Run through and lay out all your pieces and hardware FIRST. Count the number of each (they even send the funky little hex wrench, which you will have an almost intimate relationship with by the time you complete putting it all together...lol). I have heard some people use a drill. Great! I did it the harder way. Signature "me" style. NOTE: there will be times YOU MUST HAVE TWO PEOPLE TO ASSEMBLE. You can do quite a bit of the tedious stuff yourself, but yeah, no way around it. Invite a strong friend over when you've done the most of it you can in your own and lure this person over promising pizza, beer and chocolate cake (plus a blazing fun time applying both brawn and brainwork to complete a worthy task..HA) So, this was not a simple project, but do-able. I was absolutely gob-smacked by the quality and sturdiness of the pieces all tagged with letters to identify them. Once together, I decided to buy bunkie boards by taking accurate measurements down to my local Home Depot (they cut large plywood sheeting for one dollar a cut). Bunkie boards add a bit more sturdiness and I felt I could use thinner foam type mattresses to give a higher rail for a bit more safety. You will learn NOT to put the backside of the bunk beds up against the wall, UNTIL you have the mattresses and bunkie boards in place. There are a few more helpful hints I am forgetting, but with patience, you will bother persevere AND conquer. Oh, and don't forget. Wait a day or two and then go through all the bolts and tighten them up a smidge more. If loose, tighten until snug. I could climb to the top bunk and I felt secure, so was their a slight give? Yes, of course, but it wasn't such that I felt there was any danger whatsoever. The only danger is them learning to climb up and down correctly and safely. Grandma needed to be there for that lesson. My gandboys are three and four years old (btw, no one will sleep on the top bunk until old enough - they are small enough yet to both fit in the bottom bunk, which suits me fine...they will grow) I do suggest buying some colorful soft need balls or toys that your kids can throw down safely from the upper bunk. My g'kiddoes need to be supervised by me and their little sister right now until they are more skilled at this. Fun safe stuff to throw down is a delight at this age (for some reason) Bottom line: I had zero problem with quality (one very small chip of paint, which with this size of a product was nominal, to me). Boards were not warped, holes aligned, hardware was all there and substantial (they did not look or feel cheap AT ALL). Instructions were mostly right on (and what wasn't was pretty easy to discover and work around) and easy to follow. These are such a fun way to save space and create a bedroom for more than one child, while leaving room for a play or study area (if your kids are older). Would I buy these again? Or recommend to another? ABSOLUTELY. The only thing that would have made this experience just a little bit better was having my bunkie boards precut and ready to go AND saving a few hundred bucks above the cost so I could hire it out together for me. YEP, that would have been dandy! As it was, I did OK and my purchasing experience left me in awe of the many hands that worked behind the scenes to get this Super Great piece of furniture into my home. The installer could have used more help (smiling) My grandsons LOVE THIS BUNK BED!!! They climb like monkeys!

I read a lot of good reviews for this bed and my sister purchased the triple for her girls however I have two boys that sleep on this now and in the future I may have to order the triple when my other son gets old enough for his big boy bed. First let me say that Amazon plays no games they delivered this thing at 6:30am my husband was asleep so I just dragged it in the house. When I opened it I was a little flustered because of some reviews I came in with the idea that it would be hard to assemble or it would be difficult to do by myself. I didn’t want to wait for my husband so I started on it on my own. I read the instructions first and found the tools I needed. (I used a screw gun because I couldn’t use only my strength for this) I got to work and IT WAS A BREEZE! I saw the parts I needed for each part so I started pulling all of those pieces out at once because well what you do on one side you do on the other. Pulled all the headboard and footboard pieces out for both bunks and got to work. If you are doing it on your own what I suggest is stacking the headboard and footboard for the top after you get the bottom done and standing. As I said I didn’t want to wait for my husband he had just gotten in from work at about 4am. So when you stack them do not screw the pieces for the top bunk in all the way until you have all of them in place to connect the head and foot boards. After that everything else was a breeze. My sons love their bed. My husband said we should have put my 2 year old on the top and my 7 year old on the bottom because my oldest fell off the bed before and broke his arm but I was like umm nope because my 2 year old will swan dive off the top bunk and sure enough my 2 year old climbs on his brothers bed when he is at school and jumps off the ladder. And the bed does not even budge. I didn’t buy a bunkie board and I’m okay with that decision because their mattresses fit fine and they are small enough to not make any indents on the mattress when they are on it. This bed is great I don’t have to worry about them having toys, trash and junk under it and I don’t have to worry about anyone crawling under it and kicking up my anxiety. It’s easy to move if I need to and it is small. I even laid down with my two year old on the bottom bunk and it didn’t move. Worth the buy.

I bought this for my granddaughters ages 4 and 5. I like that the bottom bunk is pretty much on the floor, so the younger child is totally safe. As some other reviews mentioned, I wasn't comfortable with the clearance to the build in rails with our current mattress, so until I can get a thinner mattress, I added a net-style bed rail to the top bunk. Our bed arrived completely intact, no damaged parts. The bed is very sturdy! There were mixed reviews on assembly. I am a 54 yo woman, and I was able to assemble it completely by myself in under 2.5 hours. The instructions were very easy to follow, both the pictures and the text. There were a couple of spots where I could definitely tell another set of hands would have been great, but don't rule this bed out if you need to assemble it alone. Be aware that there isn't one single spare screw or piece of hardware with this bed, so be careful you don't misplace something during assembly. I broke one dowel (my fault) and lost another (found it too late), but it didn't seem to affect the sturdiness of the construction. I think this bed will suit our needs for the next few years, at least. As some mentioned, the bottom bunk is pretty close to the top, so a bigger child would not be able to sit up in it -- kind of like Navy racks on the ships! Overall a great bed for the price!

The bed came in two boxes, everything was labeled, a few pieces were labeled incorrectly which made a very minor set back in the assembly process. I built it by myself mostly, and it took about five hours. Not that bad in my book since a normal bunk bed by myself took me almost four and I had a few setbacks on this one. It does shake a little more than our normal bunk bed but I expected that due to its bigger size. There is not a lot of room between each bed so it isn't much taller than a regular bunk bed and allows it to fit better in most bedrooms. Perfect for space saving which is why I wanted it. The only thing I really hate about this bed is the wooden slates that the mattress sits on top of, I wish there was more and that they weren't so rough. My daughter ended up with a few splinters. I tried to sand them down which helped immensely but it was time consuming and they still won't fully smoothen out. I plan on buying some plywood to cover them and give the mattress some extra support but for the price the bed cost I wish I didn't have to do any of that. The bed is for my daughter's room. My cat who is a girl decided that means she gets dibs on the middle bunk. I have had it for a week now, so far I would give it a 8/10. My kids and cat give it a 10/10.

Okay now! We love it! It sturdy! It has ALL AND EXTRA HARDWARE. All pieces came. The woods 🪵 a tiny imperfections. Delivery guys were great 👍! Now what you want to know! I Put this together alone, I’d tell you if you could to have an able helper!! It took me six plus hours to do so. It wasn’t hard to put together but when your distracted by three kids, It’s kinda stressful. So it is very simple to put together once you get the hang of it. It comes in two boxes 📦 and they are slim. You could call this a BunkBedSlim; My Kiddos are almost 10 and 8 and they fit well. We love it 😊! It’s exactly what we could have imagined but more as my Girlie said! There’s a one year Warranty as well. They also say they will replace any missing parts for free. I was too scared before ordering because of the comments but I’m glad I listened to myself.

We love this bed. It takes a bit to put together especially if you’re only one person vs having help, but it’s possible. It’s the perfect size for my 5 year olds and I can tell this is a bed we’ll be using for a long, long time. Also give more use of the room vs having to have 2 separate beds. Build is sturdy, but easy to move if needed. I saw someone say they needed a twin xl mattress to completely fit the frame but a twin worked perfectly? I can fit on the bottom bunk comfortably so it’s spacious.

***This is for the Triple Bunk Bed Model*** The triple bunk bed comes as a kit in two separate boxes. One box is the twin bunk beds and the additional bunk is your middle bunk to make 3 bunks. 1) When UPS delivered the boxes to my house, the boxes looked like they had been dropped from a C130 Cargo Aircraft at 10,000 feet of altitude. The boxes had seen better days. Then somewhere along the line, a ton of clear packing tape was applied to try and hold things together. Not looking too good at this point 2) After unboxing the pieces and verifying what I had, it became clear that I only had instructions for the double bunk, not the triple. I was also missing a ladder step and had a severely cracked headboard piece. Plus I had some unidentified tool with misc pieces that had nothing to do with the bunk beds. 3) Because I had instructions for the double bunks, I assembled those pieces pretty straight forward. Not difficult at all, just a little time consuming. The additional bunk to make the triple did not have instructions. But if you are halfway handy and by doing the double bunk first, the layout was pretty close and I was able to figure it out. Jist make sure your ladder holes line up, you can assemble the bed backwards and the ladders won't attach, be mindful of that. 4) Once assembled, it's pretty sturdy and looks great. One caveat I would mention is the mattress size. 10" thick twin mattresses put you will little railing protection. If your twin mattresses are 7" thick you shouldn't have any worries. I have 10" mattresses so I changed the support boards for the mattresses from vertical to horizontal. That gave me about 2"-3" extra for railing protection. Something to be mindful of. Overall, when assembled it's a good bunk and my kids love it. Just poorly delivered with missing instructions and pieces along with a broke piece. Had that not been the case, I probably would have gave 5 stars.

Surprisingly this bed worked out pretty well. The quality is good and my daughters love their new bed. It was easy to put together, but pay attention to what sides have holes for the ladder and side rails, it’s easily mixed up and we had to take apart and reassemble. It says to get a mattress that’s no more than 6” deep, so I recommend either slightly bigger or getting a sheet of plywood to go under so the slats aren’t felt through the mattress. Overall happy with the purchase though.

Parfait comme 1er lit superposé. Le 1er étage est bas donc parfait pour lit de transition. Le 2e étage n'est pas trop haut donc le lit a l'air moins massif dans la chambre. Attention d'acheter des matelas pas top épais. Indications de montage très claires et le lit est solide.

Finally my husband finished it after almost half year.😝 It’s a good quality bunk bed. It took me about 2 hours to build it up though. It’s made by pinewood. Lucky enough that I didn’t have any cracks when putting it together. The lower bed is just about half foot above the floor. A bit low but the good thing is the upper bed is not too high, so it should be safer for my kid in the upper bed. It’s a decent bunk bed for sure. I would suggest to build it up by 2 guys. Gotta be much easier and faster. By the way, the manual is very clear. Thumbs up!

Sets up easily & bottom bunk is close to floor for children that may roll out of bed at night

The Amazon description does not specify that the bunk bed mattresses must be spring coil mattresses. Also the Amazon description says the pins to connect both beds is made of metal, whereas they are wooden. Easy to install, good quality wood, good paint, very sturdy.

Pretty nice! Decent quality. One piece split..
