Bunk beds are for kids and I am not a kid!

That's what my 12 year old daughter told me when we had another one of those discussions about why she needed a new bed.

She re-inforced the bed of her choice by putting a large red circle around the Vinni double bed frame in the Argos catalogue - I get the message!

Although many people decided to spend their Christmas break relaxing and catching up on TV or films, with a self employed husband that had no holiday time this year, we decided to spend the time redecorating Pre-teens room to something a little more 'her' as she put it!  After the room was painted a delicious combination of brown/grey and green it was time to dismantle the bunk bed in preparation for the new Vinni bed kindly sent to us from Argos to review.

Bunk bed dismantled and Vinni bed pack opened....and we're off!

Pre-teen was determine to get involved as well so first job was removing the protective plastic packaging around each of the bed parts to stop any damage or scratches on the powdered coated finish - followed by finding the screws needed and the instructions.

Screws were handily supplied in a red bag so easy to spot in the box.

The instructions were clear and easy to follow and I left my husband and Pre-teen to get on with Operation Bed Construct as I watched *ahem* sorry helped and took photos of the work in progress.  The headboard was first to be constructed as it was ready with just one additional piece to be added so it could be connected to the main bed frame. The pieces were all easy to locate from the instructions and the pieces was already looking like a bed within 30 minutes of the box being opened.  I love it when a plan comes together so easily...

With headboard/footer in place the metal poles for the mattress were next.

Nearly finished!

The pre-cut holes in the frame were all cut well and there were no sharp edges.  The securing screws were easy to put in and Pre-teen could even help with this part.  My husband then went round and checked them all to ensure they were tightly done up.  I asked him to give his opinion on Operation Bed Construct and the Vinni bed frame itself and he said the finish was good with clear instructions and he found the whole process very straight forward.

In 1 hour and 5 minutes we went from ....

...this....

.... to this!

Pre-teen is overjoyed at her new bed and confirms it is comfortable and I love it to because after having a bunk bed for the last 10 years it is a breeze to make the bed quickly!

The Vinni bed frame is perfect for teens or adults alike...
