Product Description

Like the Canadian Whistler Resort, in beautiful British Columbia, the Canwood Whistler Junior Loft is a majestic piece. With its West Coast design techniques mixed with quaint, clean lines and a rich wood finish, your tween will have their own personal retreat. This bed boasts an ‘outdoorsy’ elegance that is sure to complete your tween’s bedroom look. Make use of space with this spectacular loft, with its matching case pieces created specifically for this versatile bed. Lower than a traditional loft or bunk bed, this unit is elevated just enough to provide open storage space or slide the Whistler 3 drawer chest, bookcase or 2 door cupboard underneath. Or why not make it a relaxed spot for studying by adding the Whistler slide out desk. All Canwood beds are designed with security in mind; unique metal-to-metal fastening systems, employed for all connections, together with a sturdy fastened ladder and full length guardrails. You can sleep well knowing you have a Canwood bunk bed. Canwood Furniture will not be a passing fad, nor is it finished in a color which will quickly be out of fashion. The Canwood look is timeless. It is always in style.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Space-saving bed, December 13, 2010

This review is from: Canwood Whistler Junior Loft Bed - Cherry (Kitchen)

Cons:
The stain used on the bed has a strong odor for the first several days.
The instructions were poor
The latter isn't really angled so it makes climbing up a little difficult.
There are no good places to grab a hold of when climbing
The description on Amazon and on Wal-mart do not mention that this bed is for 6 yrs and older, and with that in mind if you have a 3 yr old, climbing will be more difficult. I solved this issue by creating a knotted rope for my 3 yr old to hold onto and put a step at the bottom.
Opening where you climb up seems kind of narrow.
Nothing on Amazon or Wal-mart lists what size mattress to buy. Would have been really helpful to know.

Pros:
Saves space
Solid wood
Seems like solid construction
Not too high and not too low.
Wood did not split when I put it together
All pieces arrived in great shape and were all there.
The 6 in mattress that I bought sits low enough that I don't have any concerns about my 3 yr old falling out.

Overall I am very pleased with this bed. My 3 yr old loves sleeping in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Youth loft Bed, June 18, 2011

This is an excellent choice for a youth loft bed. We purchased this for our 3 1/2 year granddaughter. She and her parents live in a 1100 sq ft home. Her bedroom is roughly 10 x 12 and my son wanted to get just a little extra toy storage space. I had this shipped to our home, took it over to their house and set it up completely in less than two hours.

It is strong and sturdy. She has had no trouble with the ladder and getting in or out of the bed. She was thrilled to get a "big girl's" bed and spends time playing under it as well as reading while laying on her loft. The height makes it perfect for a 3 year old and will last her many years. It is sturdy enough to hold me and I am a rather large grandpa.

All in all, I give this bed a 5 star rating and recommend it to anyone out there wanting a high quality bed at a more than reasonable cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid quality Camwood Whistler loft bed frame, January 14, 2012

This review is from: Canwood Whistler Junior Loft Bed - Cherry (Kitchen)

We are so happy with this purchase! We bought two espresso loft beds, for our five and half and three and half yr old boys that share small bedroom. My husband and I put them both together in about 1.5 hrs, with the second taking less time after the practice of the first.

Some notes:
- Instructions recommend mattress no taller than 8 inches and it is true for safety. Ours look about that max and are a little too close to top of rail (about four inches).
- the two stairs on upright ladder are slippery. We are going to put some simple stick on tread for more safety, especially for little socked or slippery pj feet. Tired kids with slippery feet need a little extra safety.
- weight limit in instructions states max 165 lb. not clear if this is with or without mattress. But if you planned to snuggle up with your kid, keep this max in mind.
- instructions state for six yr old or older. Well, we have both ours younger. Not sure about why, maybe climbing ladder safety? CYA for company? I feel good that they arent as high as top bunk as in a full bunkbed, from top rail to floor with these lower lofts is about four feet. Putting pillows on floor next to them for few weeks as they get used to them.

Pros:
- easy to put together, do not know about poor reviews in this regard. Instructions were clear and well diagramed, every piece was clearly labeled and every single hole lined up and was pre drilled well.
- very solid quality wood construction, better than expected for low price.
- fun factor is obvious but boys are in love and we are too. They now have a play area in their room, and love hiding and curtains or bookshelves could be added underneath for more fort building and hiding.

Cons?:
- The ladder cannot be on a different spot, it has to go as pictured. I did read a review somewhere that mentioned drilling your own holes if you wanted ladder on another side.
- they do smell (stained wood smell nothing overpowering though) for a few days so it would be nice to take pieces out of box for a few days to air, or have option of airing out room few days before use.
- out of two purchased beds, we had all parts except missing two small screws from one set. We do not have many tools or screws in our house but had two of the same size, easy solve.
- each piece labeled with small (less than inch wide) circle sticker for assembly. Most are inconspicuous, except two large safety ones on interior headboard area. All of them are hard to get off well, and even using fingernail if you scrape too hard the stain starts to come off. Leaving most stickers on as they are on underside or interior of pieces and not too visible.
