Introduction
There is many a situation in which a full size bunk bed is more or less a necessity: a couple of teenagers who have to share a room would certainly appreciate the extra comfort, especially as they near their full growth; such a bed can comfortably accommodate an entire family, so they are often found in guest rooms; even if you have a couple of younger kids who would be comfortable with a twin size bed for a while yet, when you have a bunk bed with a 10 year warranty in front of you you may be inclined to plan ahead and think of the time when when this is no longer the case.
The Night & Day Ginger Full over Full is a rather typical representative of its variety: the elegant but simple, no-thrills-and-frills design with flat tops and vertical slats that reminisce of Mission styling, allows this bed to fit well into virtually any kind of environment. Beneficial to this end is also the fact that the bed is available in six finishes: cherry, medium oak, natural, dark chocolate, stonewash and white. Choosing the right color will help the bunk bed blend with the furniture you may already have, or, if this is not a concern, you can simply pick the finish that best suits your taste.
As is the case with all Night & Day bunk beds, this one too is made of Asian rubberwood — which is a plantation-grown hardwood. Since its principal function is to produce latex (the main source for natural rubber), and since the trees are always cut down at the end of their latex producing cycle, rubberwood is widely considered as an environmentally friendly material. Its dense grain and minimal shrinkage, as well as the attractive color and acceptance of different finishes, make it highly suitable for production of quality furniture.
What Users Say
The Pros
If we’re to believe the reviewers, we have here one sturdy and solidly built piece of furniture. Very solid and heavy product; extremely sturdy; well designed; solid and durable; excellent quality — this is some of the generic praise that gets repeated in reviews over and over. The material gets a lot of commendation as well; some seem to be impressed merely by the fact that the product is all made from real hardwood, but others do also notice its qualities: beauty, strength, heaviness.
According to the majority of reports out there this bunk bed is not hard to put together. It comes with assembly instructions which are described as straightforward and easy to follow, and that should be true even for people with little or no DYI experience. In fact, there is a user out there who effectively described herself and her husband as total morons when it comes to building things, yet this major piece of furniture only took them about two hours to assemble.
The Cons
A few complaints about missing hardware; lack of bolt covers/wood plugs; missing paperwork (instructions, warranty). Of course, this being a Night & Day bunk bed, there are a few complaints about stickers that are hard to remove (ignoring the fact that those should actually be left in place). The users who have purchased the under bed drawers sometimes complain that the right drawer can’t be pulled out without removing the ladder first, suggesting that a clip-on ladder would be a better solution.
