Has anyone tried to convert this into a regular twin bed (by sawing off the legs, ladder, etc)

no, but you can get reversible ones that you can turn upside down to do that, like the ikea one http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80253814/

If you are going to cut the legs to make the whole thing low to the ground then you could just leave the ladder off. Normally you put it together separately and then put it on the bed at the end. What about a platform bed if you want something low to the ground? Then just use one of those safety rails until the child is old enough that you know they wont roll out.

You will need to line up the headboard and extension legs, get a small piece of 2 x 4 and slightly tap it in using the 2 x 4 and a hammer. that's what I did and had no problem.

We did for the first year and then got rid of it. If you're considering buying this bed I would not recommend it. It was extremely difficult to put together. Some of the "wood" (partical board) broke while putting it together. We've had it 3 years and it's deteriorating.

Not easily. I did it once out of necessity but wouldn't plan to do it on a regular basis. I haven't encountered any styles that are easy for one person to set up yet though...

As I recall, it was tricky at first, and I could not install the full lattice at one time. I had to remove some of the horizontal slats (the shorter ones), fit the rest in diagonally, and then fillin the rest. It took a lot of trial and error, but it eventually went together perfectly.

I would let a professional do it...but not sure it would be worth the cost... Compared to the price if the bed.

Yes--you remove the ladder and they pop apart to be two separate twin sized beds.

I have not found a full kit.. Seems to be best to buy a metal bed frame kit and buy conversion posts on Amazon for the bottom end. I have not converted mine yet.

No you don't, I just converted my old bed frame(wooden) into a platform bed. It just needs to be flat and solid. I think they sell some already made on here I think they are called mattress foundations that fit in your bed frame. Hope this helps and would be happy to answer anything else if I can.

No, unfortunately the screw holes are drilled out for the ladder and the whole configuration is made to be exactly like the picture. There's not a double side even to rig a ladder on the other side....unless you went to Home Depot and patched something together. However I have seen similar beds w the configuration you're looking for. Good luck!

I called the company and they said you can convert this to a twin bed by purchasing any adjustable metal frame.

You Can Do It Yourself But Will Need An Extension Ladder For Best Results. Product Is ToP Heavy. Attached Rope To Stand THrew Over Branch And Other End To Utv And Pulled Up Ladder. Worked Great.Anchoring BenchTo Tree Is Where Extension Ladder Was Useful.

Chandramohan , I built my own frame out of 2x6 . The box springs and mattress rest on top . I also screwed the frame ( head board, foot board and both side rails ) together because they kept coming apart . Now it is one solid frame. After a lot of doing this and doing that , it is finally the way I believe it should be. If I had to do this over again I would probably just buy a bed from some place like Rooms to Go and let the store employees deliver and put the whole thing together and leave all the work out of it for me.

Its been awhile but if I remember correctly, it came in 6 pcs (2 bed rails, 2 for both ends where the the ladder area is, and 2 bed frames). We just basically followed the picture, and it was fairly easy. We started by getting the 'ladder frames' upright, facing each other. The slots where you fit the bed frames should be inwards (facing each other), and spaced out in approximation of the length of the bed. We had one side leaned on the wall, while another person was holding the other 'ladder frame' upright. Then you fit in the lower bed frame to the 4 slots in each leg of the 'ladder frame'. This will allow the bed to stay upright by itself. Then do the same to the upper bed frame (or you can do it in reverse, whichever is easier for you). Next comes the bed rail for the upper bunk. You were provided screws for this. It didn't take 30mins to do all these, if you have another pair of hands to help.

We tried but could not do it. Also be sure to put padding on the ladder hooks. They scratch

Yes ... There's 2 sets of directions for if you want to pu the ladder on the right or left side. Once together you just slide the dresser and shelfs under where you want them. They are seperate units. You don't even have to put them under if you don't want to but the main reason for me getting this bed is that it is a space saver ... As my daughters room is not that big.
