Seconique Neptune 3' Single Bunk Bed in Grey/Oak Effect

Went for this one as 72Kg weight suggested sturdy construction.On opening the boxes my expectation was confirmed.Instruction leaflet was generally good. Key parts are numbered at one end. Dowels etc are provided in lettered bags.Criticisms: doesn't feel like enough wood glue is provided; ladder was difficult to put together, but that may have been due to the limitations on my woodwork skills; connecting the side and end panels is awkward.Whilst much of the build can be completed by one person, elements will be facilitated by a second pair of hands. Lifting the top bunk will need two reasonably strong adults.

So the instructions are decent and bags are labeled for an easier life. However, I have had slats with no pilot drill. I build the whole bed, with the last item being the ladders. Without the ladders my daughter has no means of climbing into her Bunk, nor does she have the side bars to prevent her falling out. So you can imagine my frustration when I get three different types of steps for the ladders, one of which fits, the others don't. In the manual the steps are labeled as one part so should all be the same, and aren't. I reach out to amazon who give me a generic 'reach out to the manufacturer' statement, despite being stocked and sold by Amazon as the seller. I had an issue with Amazon once before so I hadn't bought an item since. I finally buckle and buy when I see this at a reasonable cost and wish I hadn't now. I have a Bunk Bed which may as well be a single bed. I've learnt my lesson. I'm going to continue as before supporting local businesses and not Amazon, who just want your money and doesn't care if your item is up to standard or not.
