As the company name suggests most of their furniture is pine. However they suply the firniture in a variety of finishes, including a brilliant glossy white, which is beautiful.
Pine Solutions appear to be going from strength to strength, they have a good product offering at a great price and I regularly build their products.
The assembly errs towards screws rather than other fittings (such as cam studs and torsion pins) and can take longer than other suppliers to assemble as a result, but the instructions are clear and the product goes together very easily.
The final results are very impressive too. Personally I am not a big fan of pine furniture, but whenever I have completed assembling their items they always look fantastic and as I say the white finish on the
Cameo range of furniture is probably some of the best I have seen. Very often with white furniture it is not packaged properly, for example unsightly marks appear or the paint isn;t quite dry leaving a rough section where the packaging touched. This is not the case with the
Cameo range of furniture which from what I have seen so far is excellent!

Whether it is a bunk bed or loft bed, it is important to heed the warnings on the instructions. If you do not attach the slats properly to the upper bunk your child can suffer serious injury. The following two things have been identified:-
- The slats must all be fastened down on the top or raised bunk. On a normal bed the slats are often strung together and fastened down at six anchor point. If the slats fall through the bed you only have 12 inches to fall so no issue. If you are on the top bunk, such a fall could cause a serious injury, especially considering the way the slats might move and trap an unlucky child.
- Slat must be placed right up to the head and foot boards on the upper bunk. Again an unlucky child could slip and get trapped in a seriously uncomfortable or fatal position.
The chances of these two things happening are increased during play and therefore it is imperative that bunk beds and loft beds are assembled correctly.
