Max & Lily Classic Kids Solid Wood Bed with Trundle - Twin - Natural

I needed to add more sleeping space to a small bedroom and wanted a trundle bed made of real wood. I chose this bed after reading all the reviews. As expected, the pecan color is a bit darker than the online picture, and I did need 1.5" risers for the trundle to fit completely under the bed, since the room is carpeted. The bed and trundle were very well packaged, and nothing was damaged in transit. The assembly instructions were very clear. I was able to assemble the bed by myself in 90 min. and the trundle in 45 min. I did need to get out the cordless screwdriver because most of the holes for the wood screws were not predrilled, and my hand was getting sore. I have just a few complaints / suggestions for improvement: 1) The pecan finish is painted on rather than a stain, so it is easy to chip. I scratched it with the Allen wrench during assembly, and I also scratched a leg the first time I slid the trundle under. (it must be perfectly aligned to fit!) 2) The pre-marked holes in the head and foot boards for the metal support beam bracket did not line up with the holes in the hardware, and the placement of the footboard bracket was about 3/8" too low, so there is a gap between the cross slats and the beam. Since less weight will be on that end of the bed, I didn't find it worth my time to move the bracket up. 3) One of the footboard legs is about 1/8" off the mark when installed. You can kind of see it in the picture. I tried putting that leg on both the left and right sides and turned the top railing both inside and out and no matter what, there was always this tiny bit of overhang with the top rail. (I left the top rail with the larger lip side turned in rather out on purpose, otherwise I couldn't get the bedroom door to close). It wasn't worth the hassle for me to call support to ask for a new leg piece, as I just wanted to get this done. 4) Opinion: I think the instructions should have had the metal support beam brackets installed while the headboard and footboards were still flat on the floor. I found it more difficult to screw the brackets on with these pieces in the upright position. 5) For the sake of people without a cordless screwdriver, all the woodscrew holes should be predrilled, at least halfway.

Very pleased with purchase. It was fairly easy to put together and feels very sturdy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The directions were incredibly easy to follow. It was much easier to build with two people. The reason I give this 4 stars is because the trundle wouldn’t open and close very well with the mattress I had underneath. I ended up putting thick felt pads under the bed legs to raise it up.

It's real wood. It's easy to our together. It looks great and my daughter loves it. We went from a crib to this and it was a seamless transition. Often mom or dad sleeps on the trundle if she is scared. My kids love to jump from the bed to the trundle and it holds up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to put together. Looks very good. The trundle pulls out pretty easily. The height is really good for our toddler who is on the taller side. I would definitely check for damage after unpacking before assembly. The smell after unpacking lingered for about a week. The off gasing of the stain clear coat was very noticeable. The boxes smelled of cigarette smoke on arrival. If you've read this far I would still highly recommend this bed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are some aspects we love about this bed and others that we wish were a little better. The color is very pretty and looks really nice, especially in the sun. The actual frame that supports the mattress is solid wood and feels really nice. We also love the extra support beam that runs along the middle of the mattress area! One thing we wish was better is the material used for the slats on the headboard and the panel on the footboard. I’m not sure I would consider these to be the “solid wood” Max and Lily is known for. It feels very lightweight to us and doesn’t have that heavy, solid look or feel we expected. Other than that, we are very happy with the bed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the most part, the beds are well constructed. However, there is a flaw on the trundle bed. When lying on it all of the straps can be felt and therefore it is not comfortable. I feel there should have been a metal bar for support like the one provided for the main bed. Metal bars were also provided on the top and bottom beds for the bunk beds we also purchased which make both of those beds comfortable. A metal bar support is needed on the trundle.
