Solid Wood Espresso Twin Bed

Not for adults. I bought this bed for my son, but also for occasional guest use. It broke the first time an adult used it. The seller (Mom's Bunkhouse) said I should have known that it is designed only for kids because the description says "great for a child's room". When it broke, I can see that it is made of soft and very low quality wood. If you buy it for a child, don't expect it to last once your kids are teens. Also Mom's Bunkhouse didn't provide a full refund, but only gave a partial refund and replaced the broken piece with one of the wrong color and with a big hole drilled in the middle for no reason. Buyer beware.

We got this for our little boy as a crib replacement. Let me say that I DO like it, and assembled, the bed looks very nice. The finished look of the bed grants the product stars at all.

That said, the instructions said that the bed should take an hour to assemble. If only! The screws to connect the screws to the foot of the bed were too short, so I had to run to Home Depot to get new ones. Upon assembling the foot, head, and side rails, we discovered that the assembled foot was two full inches shorter than the assembled head. The slats for the mattress were uniform in length, so I had to trim them to differing lengths.

All in all, between trips to Home Depot, running to the in-laws to use their power saw, and trying to get regular Saturday stuff done, the project took well over the amount of time it should have. Again, the finished product looks nice, and the mattress fits on the bed, but the hassle of the product was ridiculous. I can't recommend buying it, simply because I'd hate for anyone else to go through the same thing.

Buy Solid Wood Espresso Twin Bed Now

I looked on craigslist, classifieds, and salvation army to find a good price on a real wood bed. This one, including shipping, was the best price! I have no experience constructing furniture and yet I was able to put it together all by myself in about an hour (go mom!). You will need a Phillips screwdriver and possibly a hammer, although I didn't need one. It looks great, and is lightweight but solid. A little low to the ground, but for my toddler this is a plus. As he grows I plan on adding a box spring and bed lifts for more space off the ground. Would make a great guest bed as well. I'm 5'8" and I fit on it comfortably.

And I had more than enough glue that it came with. Had about half of it left over. Although I'm not sure it would ruin the construction without it. Everywhere there is glue there is a long screw on either side of it, not to mention the dowel that the glue is for.

Great instructions. Simple and easy to understand.

I bought this bed for my 2-year-old as a crib replacement. It would work fine as a smallish adult bed as well-I can sleep on it comfortably myself.

It is all solid wood, well packaged to avoid scratches and dents, and includes everything you need to assemble it. I ran out of the included glue and had to add some Elmer's of my own, but that was likely a result of poor planning and over usage on my part.

I am only knocking a star off because the hex bolts that hold the bed together are not all that pretty, and are not hidden. If they were brass, or if they were recessed and covered with some kind of peg or plug, the bed would be a little bit nicer looking. But honestly, I am not sure this merits knocking a whole star off. It's an excellent purchase.
