Be forewarned about the bunk mattress
By jmb
I bought this based after quite a bit of research into these loft beds.I was aware that top bunk mattress size can be a problem, the manufacturer website for this unit states it can accomodate "Twin Size Mattress - max 8.5 inch thick" (as of January 25, 2011).We received the 180+ lb unit intact in a single box. It was actually pretty well packaged for something this large. We opened the box in the garage and carried the invidual pieces to my son's room for assembly (max individual piece maybe 40lbs), two people required due to bulk of the pieces.I'm a pretty handy guy with all the correct tools (the provided allen key and wrench will work, but you'll need more time) and it took us about 2 hours to assemble (including some reassembly due to poor instructions):- Don't final tighten the frame until AFTER you have installed the guard rails (you'll have to loosen things up to get them in if you do).- when assembling the futon frame, make sure the center holes are "up" on both pieces.Build quality isn't great...average for the price I guess. Welds on the pieces left gaps in many areas and the paint seems poorly applied (and I question its long term wear)The real problem came when we put my son's 8.5" mattrss on the upper loft. Admittedly this is a plush 8.5", but even a "flat" one would have problems. There was less than 1" of the guard rail above the mattress. Referring to the warning sticker on the bed "3. Ensure thickness of mattress and foundation does not exceed 6 inches and mattress surface is at least 5 inches below upper edge of guard rails"I contacted the seller (CSN Stores in my case)...the seller was VERY COOPERATIVE.I explained the Coaster website statement that 8.5" mattress ok and safety sticker stating 6" max (as well as my limited guard rail clearance). I asked them if there was perhaps a retrofit guard rail (taller). CSN contacted the manuafacturer (Coaster), that made the statement "it's fine, don't worry about it", Coaster refused to provide any remedy.It's not like you're going to disassemble this thing and ship it back...I have to buy a new mattress or have a new guard rail fabricated. I chose to buy a new mattress, there's a couple 6" memory foam mattresses on amazon for under $200. CSN helped somewhat with the cost of this...these guys are very concientious and I would gladly buy from them again.Coaster is now obviously aware of the mismatch between the website and the safety sticker...we'll see if the website changes.If you go into this KNOWING you're limited to a 6" mattress, it's not a bad unit.I'll upload a couple picture so you can judge yourself some of the problems.----UPDATE JANUARY 2012-----Almost a year later, and Coaster website still has incorrect information about the acceptable mattress size---UPDATE DECEMBER 2012-----We've had this almost two years and it is holding up pretty well, so I upped this a star.Also a helpful update...the ladder is obviously small and made of metal (hard on the feet)...we found the "Kidkusion edge cushions" on Amazon make very nice pads for the ladder...see pictures.BTW...Coaster website STILL incorrectly says accepts 8.5" mattress size.

Well made frame
By MW Mom
Bought this for a small teen bedroom to get the teens and xbox etc. out of my living room. Needed a frame with side ladders, since the room is tiny. We are very happy with this purchase. Assembly pretty straight forward. Came nicely boxed in one large flat box and all parts were in order. Do yourself a favor and get a foam/memory foam/latex type of mattress for top bunk. (6" or less as another reviewer pointed out) Much easier to make a flexible mattress than a firm coil type mattress on the top bunk.
