If I want to convert the bed to side by side, how long does it take to do this? How many steps are there?

10 min the most. The two beds are overlaid. The bed posts on the bottom bed have some cilinders to hold the top bed in place. It is secure.

You'll have to assemble the top and bottom beds all the way to the last set of instructions, which is when you mate the top bed to the bottom bed with the provided dowels in the 4 bed posts. Now, the top and bottom beds are not completely identical; for example, the legs of the top bed appear to be longer than the bottom bed due to the headspace needs in the bunk bed configuration - plus note how the the bedposts extend to different lengths past the headboards.

I'm sorry I can't think of a way to do it since the ones I wanted looked like square castles and the ones I got looked like this picture (avter they changed it because of my review) but since I have both kinds now I will give you a ruff idea. The square kind shown have a 2.5" x 2.5" square depression of about 1" deep so anything under that or something rounded that is a little over that (say 3" to maybe 4") would most likely fit. If you get the square castle type (which are on this site also) they will fit about a 4" square or 3" circle. Both are wood and can be had in blondish or darker wood. I ordered the castles and got the squares and at first was very upset. then I saw that the depth was the same and I could us two castles and four squares to do what I had to do to the bed. If you have those large circles such as 5" round ones then niether will work unless there is a smaller stub at the very bottom.

depends on the size of the bedroom, as well as the specifics of your bedroom (windows facing sun, insulation, etc). a 20x20 bedroom would take about 10-15 min to get from 90 to 75 or so. it's a great unit. highly recommended.

The dimensions are 24" x 7 and 7/8". If you make a template before installing, the installation can be done in less than 30 minutes. A template eliminates measuring each step.

I think the headboard converts to a foot board. It comes with extensions that can be removed to make it shorter.

The bed is hard. Not extremely firm, there is some give. I think you can only use one side.

Its fairly easy if you can follow directions. The table itself is very simple, putting 4 legs on. The two stools are a bit more involved but not hard really. All pieces are labled with A, B , C etc... seperate all pieces by letters and follow the directions. I'm a 44 yr old woman and I did it lol. Good luck

I just measured it. It IS 20.5....the 5 step must be 28. We have a very HIGH King size bed. The 5 step would be too high.

Approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on much you've put together things like this before. Instructions were easy to follow. Screws went in easy and everything matched up.

I don't remember the actual measurements, only that it took two boards side-by-side for a double bed.

No, you do not. However, I would highly suggest finding a different product. This was damaged to me since delivery and it has been falling apart ever since day one. It's made of a cheap plasterboard from China, and won't hold up to any sort of use. Furthermore, it uses these weird rails that run along the bed horizontally instead of the traditional frame support and it is the most uncomfortable thing on this planet. Definitely would NOT recommend!

thats a hard question to answer depending on your ability to follow instructions. I have to estimate about 1.5+ hours if you do it right and don't have to disassemble to go back to a step that wasn't done right. I had that happen to me because I didnt get one of the panels place correctly. In the end it probably took me around 2 hours. You might be able to pick one up preassembled at the local big box stores over Labor day weekend, that is if you have one nearby.

Hello M. Pierson, You have to extend each leg individually for each section, but it's not something that takes long. It's pretty quick!

No, but the bed is mostly assembled already, in 4 huge boxes on a pallet. 2 boxes are the side drawer units with that side of the foot end drawers all attached already put together and the headboard is all put together but it has2 sections that you put on the bottom to give it the height, and a small section at the center of the foot board that connects the 2 sides together, then the slats. and that's it. It took a lot longer to get it out of the boxes than it took to put together. the packaging might be more worth paying somebody else to do.! btw we love this set up but just know with a 12 inch mattress it is high! beautiful wood not cheesy at all.

You have to do a little bit of assmbley - but it's really simple. 10-15 minutes

There's a separate conversion kit (rails, etc.), that you need to purchase in order to convert it from a crib to a bed. If you can, either search by the title for the crib listing itself, or go through your orders and pull up the crib listing; it should show a section of items people bought with the crib, and it may show that kit. Good luck!

Not hard, but VERY time consuming. It took me about four hours working at a comfortable, steady pace and really studying the assembly diagrams. I have to give KidCraft credit for the instructions. One step at a time, very simple but obvious diagrams, usually only one or two different screw/other types involved for each step (so each diagram was not overly complicated), but you will repeat that step two or four times per the 43 diagrams - so you can see how it adds up in time. And despite paying very careful attention, I still somehow managed to miss attaching two less relevant pieces which, with just a little loosening up on targeted screws, I was able to push them into place.
