How do beds stay together when stacked? Is it secure or does top bed fall easily? Can child take apart on her own?

There are pegs on the bottom bed that slide into holes on top. No,it doesn't fall off & yes, I have a 4 year old who stacks & unstacks it 10 times a day at least! Hope this helps.

They stay together very well. You can lift the top on off to have 2 twin beds. (There are pegs that fit into the legs of the top bunk)

With pegs. A child can do it themselves. Sturdy enough that it will not fall. The ladder just rests on the side.

There are pegs that the top bed fits on to. The beds cone apart by just lifting the top bed straight up. The top bed does not fall off of the pegs. My 3 year old can take them apart. I will warn you that the pegs can break if you are careless with them. My 7 year old takes great care of her things and my 3 year old is still a little rough. I would say the durability of this bed is more suited to the 7 year old. For under $30 I thought it was still a good buy for the younger one and if it did break I wouldn't be upset like I would have been if I purchased a real American girl bed for $100-200.

It is kind of flimsy, not to the point where it'll just fall over but kids can't swing on it or it'll come apart. I've thrown a blanket on the top of it and it sags a bit but didn't collapse. The curtains do not close around the bed, they're just for show around the bars.

The top just "sits" in some pegs that are on the 4 vertical posts. There are some bolts that do attach the stairs to it as well. I would think it would be pretty stabile since there are about 20 little 1" x 3" boards that you screw across the bed (The mattress sits on those).

They can be stacked in a tidy fashion, and their weight adds some stability, howver they do not actually 'click' together, so there is nothing to prevent them from sliding apart if pushed. I hope this helps.

I would tie it down on the other side of the frame for stability. But if it is tied down - it would stay in one place - it isn't real wide and depending on the size of your child - Not a little one but a taller child it should work fine. If I needed something - one could always buy two of them - tie them down to the bunk bed frame so they would go no where...I would give this a try.

I think it's pretty sturdy. better quality than I expected. Mine is at the foot of my bed and I would be comfortable with a toddler using it as support. I just do not know about it being okay without being against something.

The bottom bed is required for the structure. If you are handy, it is possible to create a loft look with the bed, you would need to be able to secure all four corners of the top bed. If you didnt want to take that bottom bed apart, then you can easily go to a store to purchase woods and make your own posts to secure the top bunk.

They just kinda snap apart/together, it's super easy for babies to stack and take them apart. You and also take sizes close together to make balls with them.

I keep my daughters together all the time. The way your have to screw the legs in, I wouldnt want to be dismantling it. The legs are criss crossed over each other and screwed in. I would suggest leaving together. But its a great desk and adjustable legs are awesome.

So far bed has held up with 2 sturdy active boys who are 10 to 12 years of age and of course I go around every-so-often and tighten the screws. I have each bed set up on a corner wall in one room, maybe this helps it be more sturdy.

I've laid on the top bunk with both my daughters. I weigh 155 +/- I've also stood on the top bunk, to hang items on the wall, barely even moves. Bed is VERY sturdy. Even after having it many months....can't say that kids have never jumped on it either! I would recommend this set, we are happy with this purchase.

We use the top bunk occasionally when my teenage son's friend come for a sleep over. I can tell you that because of the layout of the bed, where the desk and the side cupboard are the actual support of the top bed and because of the structure of the top bed and how it's build, I can tell you that it is really sturdy. I would assume that a heavier than average person could be easily supported.

I would recommend it. The bed is pretty high and the platform frame is pretty strong. My kids have jumped on it and it holds both of them.

I would say it depends on your child, I built this for my son at 4 years old, he loves it and has not fallen out. My one recommendation would be to use wood glue to help keep the drawers sturdy!

The drawers slide smoothly. I bought it with the option of the trundle bed underneath, not the drawers. I have had the bed for over 5 years. It will hold up fine as long as your children do not use the slats to hold the upper mattress as monkey bars. My boys broke a few slats, but we were able to cut wood and fix it ourselves.

If it can with stand a toddler pushing on it and not fall off I think it would be fine it just depends on how hard you will be putting force on it.it has these patches on the underside of it that are of some sort of rubberish material that has little grippers on it. My son (about 30 lbs when I used it for him to transition his to his high full size bed) would push on it pretty hard and it never fell off. Plus you put it under the fitted sheet and that also helps to keep it on. With that being said I never had an issue with the sheet coming off either but I buy sheets for a double that are about $80 so I would invest in high quality sheets, if you don't already have some.

It seems very stable and will depend on how much weight you put on each shelf....each one hold 50 lbs. I dont yhink it would be eady to topple. But t hen of course how old and how wild are your kids?
