STRICTLY BEDS&BUNKS Pandora Triple Sleeper including Three Sprung Mattresses (15 cm), 3ft Single

To be honest, I was a bit weary because I've heard some give low stars due to quality problem. Missing items & basically being poor workmanship.However, I received this a few weeks ago but only just put it up as was re decorating the boys room & I am really impressed. The wood is solid & smooth. It's bigger than I expected & very sturdy. However, my 3 boys are like apes. So I will be bolting it to the side wall just in case lol.Attached a picture for you to see the end result. It definitely is a 2 man or women job however. I consider myself a pretty nifty handyman. But still required another pair of hands.Highly recommended & if your tight on space. This is a brilliant space saver & cheaper than many normal bunk beds!My only suggestion is this. If your kids are a bit wild in terms of climbing & swinging around. I would recommend pre drilling holes & adding extra screw to the bottom of the strip of wood to support the safety slats on the sides. I noticed the screws were located at the bottom of the slats rather than the middle or the top. Perfectly fine if your kids are gentle & not too boisterous. But adding extra screws just in case will save it breaking later! As a experienced handyman. It was clear to me to do this. But not everyone may see why. I have attached a photo to explain. The White circled are the original hole locations. The red circled are the one's I made for myself. But just realised I've made a error & used the wrong hole at the top. You will see, the pre drilled holes are too close to the edge of the wood & won't provide much support if the side rails are pulled or pushed! They need to be further in & on 2 screws not 1.

Arrived promptly. Packaged well. Easy to assemble, however, due to the lack of time it took 3 days to put together :D. But if we would assemble anything similar again it would take 2-3 hours as promoted. A few tricky moments, where the cool head and re-reading of the instructions were really helpful. Very sturdy, safe, and saved space, children love it, and enjoy the bunk bed so much, we purchased extra bed rail guards as our children are still youngish and we have more peace of mind with the guards. Overall great buy, for the money really worth it. The mattresses that came within are of good quality and our children will use them for a number of years.

Great beds, well made.Found it a tad hard to put together, needed arms like an octopus x inspector Gadget (I guess that would = Dr Octopus) but in fairness I'm not used to assembling DIY furniture and my 15 & 11 year old where helping me so between the three of us it was basically the blind leading the blind! But we did it so if you are used to DIY then I'm sure it'll be no problem.Actual assembled bed is great, good quality, sturdy & we'll worth the money.The instructions were pretty easy to follow then kinda tailed off into using your own common sense (but that may be my own fault for reading them wrong or not understanding properly)???The company were extremely friendly & helpful & gave me complete reassurance which is the only reason I bought the bunk bed on the first place, more than anything in the world I HATE bad/pants customer service & ALWAYS choose anything I buy from places with notable customer services, this company DEFINATLY have great customer services.

Now it's assembled I'm quite impressed with the bed. It is simple yet sturdy and I get the impression it will probably last the kids for many years. The customer service was excellent, delivery was prompt and well communicated; the driver didn't even complain about parking which is unusual where I live!I think the seller should update their description though to properly set the expectations of the purchaser in terms of assembly. I thought that 'easy' would mean comparable to some of the better known flat pack providers. That's definitely not the case.Instructions - There is a colour coding system that works quite well. You read how to deal with different colours and that pattern continues throughout the build, so often you don't need to refer to the instructions. However, some parts are frustratingly vague and at points you are left staring at a blurry photocopy of the end product and reverse engineering that to work out what to do next. Also, I got the impression the ladder design had changed and my instructions were not entirely consistent with the new ladder configuration.Fixings and tools - There are TONS of fixings - it's basically a sack! Nothing is bagged separately which is a bit annoying so it's worth spending some time sorting everything first. Some of my bolts were burred so getting them to bite on the little 'barrels' was unbelievably frustrating. Eventually I realised that burring was the issue and screwing the bolt through the barrel outside the bed before assembling properly helped a great deal. On the plus side I had loads left over at the end so no worries if you drop one or two pieces through the floorboards as I did! The tools are totally inadequate. I defy anyone to screw in SO MANY 10cm wood screws with the tiny allen key in the bag. I wouldn't even contemplate assembling this beast without an electric screwdriver, even then expect to spend several hours at it! A drill for pilot holes also made the job easier.Overall, I'm happy with the bed - it does look and feel good. I think if you buy one in the knowledge that it's going to be a bit of a mission to assemble and that you'll need a bit of space, preparation, your own tools and a fair amount of patience you wont be disappointed.
