Donco Kids Mission Low Slide Loft Bed White/Twin/RED Tent

My kindergartener loves this bed! He spends a lot of his time under the loft which he calls his 'clubhouse'. It ifeels very sturdy and doesn't wobble at all. It is just hard to assemble this on your own because the wood parts are heavy (which I understand because the wood might be a better quality.) Yes you will need to drill but it is not hard to figure out where you are supposed to drill. And I think the manufacturer designed it that way (not providing the holes for you) for tighter screws in place., hence another plus for safety. It arrived on time and packaging was in good condition.

Although my child loves his new bed, however, it is too pricey considering the finishing quality. This is a bed that needs serious assembly, a fact that makes it vulnerable to damage in case buyers need to disassemble it. In addition, there was a couple of manufacturing defects: a screw was missing a hole in one of the wooden pieces another screw remains loose because the corresponding hole is too wide.

Bought this bed for my 2 1/2 year old daughter. She loves to play in the tent! She does sleep with us, but we're hoping to transition soon and thought a fun bed might help. Took us 2 hours to put together and it was not hard. Just look at the pictures. The step from the ladder to the mattress is a little high, but she can climb up on her own so I guess it's not a big deal. We have a pillow top mattress for her and it lays even with the rails so there is nothing to catch her from falling off. If she starts sleeping here we will have to figure out a new plan. So other than the mattress laying even with the rails we love it. It's not too tall and doesn't take up a lot of space.

We received a brown bed instead of a white bed and contacted the company, Moshya. They asked for our box number and then never gave us further instructions. When Amazon began the A-Z guarantee claim I thought that finally, after over 1 month of a run around that we would have the correct bed sent and the incorrect bed returned. (This was a Christmas present and our child was dying for the new bed!)Amazon informed us that we had 3 business days to provide tracking information that proved we had shipped the bed and insured it, at our own expense. We checked into shipping the two large and heavy boxes, insured from New Jersey to Houston, TX and the shipping was over $300. It does not make sense for us to ship it and reorder! What if we get the wrong bed again! We are stuck with a dark brown (espresso) colored bed that does not match any of the other furniture. Amazon's email stated, "We understand your frustration but our A-Z guarantee does not cover return shipping." I wish I had realized that if the vendor sends the wrong, very heavy bed that it would be up to us pay for the return!

It really is solid wood, much better than cheaper furniture made out of particle board. Hard to put together, but just take your time.

I think that I was expecting to get more for less with this bed, which is similar to many others which you can find for much higher prices. This bed is fine, construction seems sturdy and my son does like it, though the wood seems really lightweight and it seemed to damage easily when lightly struck. I'm not really that fond of the tent, though that really wasn't a selling point for us getting it in the first place.I put it together by myself with the help of my two little boys, so they added a little time, but working at a good rate, it took me close to three hours. Figure the boys added up to a half hour! The instructions were without any written instructions and took some time for me to figure out initially, but I'd say they were ultimately quite well crafted instructions.I have gotten into bed with my son for a total weight of about 200 pounds, though it's rated to only 160, and it seemed fine. The one thing I really wish was different is that the slide would originate from roughly even with the top of the mattress and not from the frame, as to get onto the slide the kids (I got it for my 4 year old, but obviously, his 18 month old brother is not going to be left out of this fun!) have to negotiate about a 12 inch step off from the top of the mattress to the top of the slide.All in all, I can't say we are unhappy, but just not as happy as we thought we'd be, particularly reading other reviews!

My kid loves this bed... he loves the slide and its sturdy. Contrary to some other reviews... it was easy to build and all the parts were in the boxes. Make sure you dont cut the box that has the tent in it with scissors. The tent packed on the top and is in a plastic bag, I amost cut it along with the cardboard.It would have been great if I could put the slide on the other side. I.e. swap the steps and the slide. Dont think it would be a big deal for the manufacturer to do this. If you have a room like mine, the slide will end up in the middle of the room.

Very sturdy and was easy for two people to put together. My 3 year old loves it. The fort underneath is the coolest!!!
