Introduction
The Cinnamon Twin over Twin Bunk Bed from Night & Day is a handsome piece of furniture; simple in design, a bit on the conservative side, nothing too fancy, no frills and thrills — just some very subtle arches and curves — but it is precisely that which makes it fit so good into pretty much any environment.
The bed is made of Asian rubberwood. Despite its name which, let’s face it, isn’t exactly confidence inspiring, this is an excellent material with many relevant qualities. Rubberwood is also considered environmentally friendly. The rubber tree’s principal function is to produce latex, which is the main source for natural rubber (hence the name). At the end of its latex producing cycle the tree is cut down, but, instead of being burned as used to be the case, it is now used in the production of high quality furniture. Rubberwood is valued for its attractive color and acceptance of different finishes, but even more for its dense grain and minimal shrinkage — two qualities that are crucial for sturdiness and durability of any given product.
Buyers who took the time to voice their opinion on this product most often describe it as: durable, attractive, comfortable, offering good support.
What Users Say
The Pros
Buyers are by and large thrilled with the quality of this bunk bed. Sturdiness and durability are the very first thing mentioned by nearly each reviewer. Expressions such as: extremely sturdy; good material; excellent finish; good hardware; strong slats; very well crafted; quality workmanship — are repeated over and over. The quality of wood receives much praise too, as does the mattress support and the attention to detail — everything fits easily, as one reviewer put it. No wobbling or shaking. What’s more, some of these reports are coming after months or even years of use by some very rambunctious kids. And their friends. But even with all that action the bed reportedly stays sturdy as a rock and the finish still shines.
Ease of assembly — the product is supposed to arrive in five boxes — don’t be alarmed if you only get four, though, as one of the boxes reportedly has the fifth box inside it. The assembly itself shouldn’t be a problem; “easy to assemble” is one of the most oft-repeated phrases associated with this product. The process is referred to as straightforward, the assembly instructions praised as clear, accurate, simple and easy to follow. For illustration, there is a report out there by a seven month pregnant woman who have assembled the bed by herself, with a two-year-old running around trying to “help.” Obviously, she couldn’t have put the top bunk in its place by herself, you need two people for that at least, but the message does get across: it’s easy and pretty much anyone should be able to do it.
The Cons
Not much except for the stickers that are hard to remove. These are actually not supposed to be removed (hence the stickiness), but most people do just that. There is an occasional report about missing screws or bolts or (rare) broken piece; things easily fixable, if vexing to deal with.
