Would you buy Walmart bedroom furniture?

[Bernadine]

J's son needs new bedroom furniture- he's outgrown his race car bed.  J wants to get bunk beds, twin over full, and we haven't been able to find anything on craigslist.  We were looking last night and found a bed at Walmart that looks nice and has really good reviews.

I don't know why I'm feeling snobby about this.  If it were my kid, I'd probably want something nicer.  Although, it kind of doesn't make sense to spend a lot of money for furniture that's only used one night a week, right?

If it was made from decent materials (for the price) and had good reviews, sure.

[zitiqueen]

I'd buy it from there. Are you planning to tape the receipt to the end of it so people know where it came from?

[crazycakes]

I wouldn't buy bunk beds from WM because all of the furniture I've purchased from that type of store (Target, WM) hasn't been very sturdy and I would be concerned about safety. I have only had coffee tables and a bookshelf, though. If you have seen it in person and it looks sturdy, and gets good reviews, then I wouldn't worry about where it comes from.

I'd rather a new bed from Walmart than a used one from CL.

[VillainV]

I would do it, as long as it looked sturdy and safe.

no bc that company fucking sucks. but I would keep looking on CL. you will find something for pennies on the dollar and maybe get it delivered for free!

We actually bought our crib from Wal-Mart after we found it a Babies R Us but they didn't carry it in the color we wanted. It's Babi Italia, really solid wood and we got it at half the price. People loved it. It is one of the only things I've ever bought there but if you can find something of that quality, I would.

We bought our crib and dresser from Walmart. The crib was fine but the dresser fell apart in 2 years. I just bought an ikea one to replace it

[snickers]

For a kid? I wouldn't think twice. I probably wouldn't for my bedroom furniture because I feel like it might fall apart after a couple of sex sessions lol

I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with it, but bunk beds can be unsafe. I wouldn't want to risk Walmart for that, but if they have good reviews then MAYBE. I live and die by the reviews. What about Ikea? I am not sure I consider that much safer but I know tons of people with bunk beds from there.

Also, my parents purchased a very expensive bedroom set for me when I was a kid and I managed to ruin it anyways. Kids are rough with their shit, better to go cheaper so it's not such a blow if something does happen lol

[shananagins]

We got our cribs from Wal Mart and I love them. They've held up really well so far.

I don't buy anything expensive for my kid. She's destructive and unemployed.

[whitemerlot]

I would. Kids are so hard on everything. I bought a pretty cheap crib and am so glad I didn't spend more or plan to convert it past a toddler bed.

For a similar price point, I would try Bob's Discount furniture, Ikea or Target. I'm not a Walmart hater though.

[eb777888]

I said "no" until I saw it was for a kid's room. Hell yes I would. I'd also try to get real wood. I always do for furniture, though.

[daisyheadmaizie]

If the reviews were good, I would. Especially for how little it will be used. Seems silly to spend a lot of money on something that will be outgrown in a few years and only gets used minimally.

This one is only $600

Twin over full with trundle

I'm sure they will set it up for you too which IMO is much better than trying to piece something together at home.

You could stuff 4 kids into that!

We bought great solid wood chairs at Target, which I consider on a similar plane. I'd have to check it out in person, first, and make the determination on how durable it is and how it looks.

[balletofangels]

Our nursery furniture is Walmart. Same as pp, the dresser has pretty much fallen apart, but the crib was sturdy and great. We've since bought a toddler bed from Walmart and are very happy with it.

For a child?

Sure.
