Discovery World Furniture Mission Twin Over Twin Staircase Bunk Bed with Trundle in Merlot Finish

Made in Vietnam. We got the Merlot twin over twin with twin trundle. The stain is nice. The construction quality seems durable. It's got a small footprint and includes very nice storage options. The assembly directions could be clearer. If you switch the stair assembly to the right side then you will run out of hardware if you also want to install upper side rails on both sides. Luckily for us, our unit is up against the wall, and doesn't need both sides protected. I didn't realize there would be a book storage nook at the foot of the bottom bunk. This is very nice and the kid who sleeps above was a little jealous of the book nook. Ideally the hardware kit would include little merlot-stained wooden plugs to cover the visible screws but I guess you can't have everything. We're using the trundle assembly for clothing storage but I can see how great it would be for a future sleepover if there was a little futon mattress there instead. Shipping to Brooklyn went smoothly. There was no damage to the box. I would definitely recommend this item at the price I paid (~780$ i think). I would buy it again.

It's a great bed. It feels very sturdy and stable. Unfortunately it did not come fully ready to assemble. Many holes were missing. In the process of drilling them myself, my drill bit broke. I expected better quality control. A couple of posts were mislabeled as well. Frustraing. But overall, frustrating construction being my biggest complaint is not too shabby.

We had a screw sticking through one of the steps along with a few other smaller issues and gave them a chance to make it right, but they didn't seem too interested in keeping us happy. The assembly instructions also need a lot of work.

Beautiful solid construction. This bed is definitely a cut above and well worth the price. Assembly took about three hours with the help of its intended occupants, but could probably be built faster without help :). I commend the manufacturer on laying out all of the hardware neatly in bubble packs with labels, which is makes it much easier to see what you have and what you need than throwing a bunch of parts in together in a bag like certain other furniture companies that require DIY assembly. I did not notice when I ordered the bed that there is a magazine rack on the lower level next to the stairs. This is a nice touch.Staircase bunks are definitely far less common than ladders, but I really like this design as there is no chance of a sleepy kid rolling off the top of stumbling on a ladder.Note that there is a stage in construction where you will need to place the assembled top onto the the bottom, so two adults might be useful for that step.

The wood is not as sturdy as I would have liked. But over all it's a pretty good bed. And its definitely a 2 person job to but it together!

This may be the best piece of flatpack furniture I've ever purchased. The wood is solid and the finish is beautiful. The hardware is organized in shrinkwrapped, separately labeled bubbles on a large piece of cardboard so you can see everything you need. Most importantly, every hole is drilled exactly where it should be, and the pieces glide together quickly and easily. In the six months we've owned it we've already had to disassemble and reassemble it once (to move bedrooms) and it came together the second time just as magically as it did the first time.

The bed is AWESOME! The company was terrific as well. I had a significant problem with their shipping company Gold Coast Freight (they are worse than HORRIBLE!!) - shipping took almost a month! And the bed was only an hour and a half from my house. The shipping company NEVER returned my calls as promised. Each time I called Gold Coast - they never knew what was going on! So disappointing! I will NEVER do business with that shipping company ever again. I advise anyone and everyone to use alternative shipping companies.BUT Discovery World Furniture ALWAYS returned my calls and emails and they were FANTASTIC! They truly worked to help rectify the shipping issues.The bed itself is great and sturdy! My kids (4 & 7) love it.Take your time and read the instructions - I switched the staircase to the shipping to the other side. It wasn't difficult - just follow the directions at the end of the instruction booklet.

This bed is beautiful and our grandchildren love it. It is very sturdy and the drawers are enough for small belongings during a visit.
