We did a lot of research before ordering this bed from Bensons for beds.
We read a lot of reviews but the best thing about Bensons for beds is you can actually go in and view the bed. We went to the Bensons store in Swansea and the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Our daughter was unsure whether she wanted a high or mid sleeper and the shop assistant let us try both beds out and that helped her make the decision. It also re-assured us as parents that the bed was very sturdy and made very well.
We then ordered the bed through the store, we ordered the mid-sleeper with the desk. We also didn't need the bed straight away, as we were redecorating her bedroom and asked if the delivery could be made on a certain date, which Bensons did. The communication from Bensons was fantastic, with regular updates and it arrived on time.
We put the bed together, it did take a good few hours and it is much easier with two people. The bed went together without a hitch and looks amazing and is very sturdy. I would say, following the instructions and take your time.
Overall we had a fantastic experience from start to end with Bensons and the bed it self is good quality, sturdy and good value for money. I would recommend this bed and Bensons.
