We have taken a closer look at the above-mentioned product and subjected it to a practical test. Below, we provide detailed insights and impressions resulting from this evaluation. From the packaging to the materials and quality, as well as the range of functions and handling, this product is put through our THO testing procedure. For a quick overview, we use a point system. The maximum achievable score per category is 100 points. The overall rating is calculated at the end as the average of all tested features, considering their respective weighting.
First impression of the packaging
In the first step of our THO testing process, the packaging is examined. Does it provide adequate protection for the product? Are the necessary manufacturer contact details and a service hotline printed on it?
| Evaluation category | Result | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Quality of product packaging | Sufficiently protected and without damage | 100 |
| Contact options available | Contact options are available on the packaging | 100 |
| Total | 100 |
The Titan children’s bed from ALAVYA HOME® arrived well secured in a cardboard box. Contact information is included on the packaging. The box also arrived without significant damage.
First impression of the product after opening the packaging
After opening the packaging and evaluating it, we take a closer look at the product’s workmanship. How high-quality are the materials used, and how do the feel and appearance rate?
Weighting: 30% *The maximum score is 100 points
| Evaluation category | Result | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Package contents and scope | Complete | 100 |
| Odor | No detectable odor | 100 |
| User manual | Available and includes contact information, but in some parts not entirely clear and incomplete | 80 |
| Potential injury hazards | None or minimal, as the corners are nicely rounded | 100 |
| Product quality | Good quality, feels premium. However, one of the included Allen keys became rounded after a short time. | 85 |
| Total | 93,0 |
The product contents are complete, and an assembly manual is included. Safety instructions for later use are provided in both German and English. However, the manual was confusing in some places. The depiction of the holes could be clearer. Also, the number of slats with their caps shown on the penultimate page does not match the actual number (too many are listed). Another drawback is one of the included Allen keys, which became rounded after a short time, making the work more difficult if you don’t have your own tools available. Otherwise, the floor bed is well made, looks good, and feels high quality. The corners and edges are sanded and rounded, preventing injuries. All contents are well protected by styrofoam and foam wrapping. The bed arrived complete with the slatted frame.
The practical test
The practical test carries the greatest weight. Here, the product must undergo a variety of criteria and examinations by our independent testers. We test the functions promised by the manufacturer of the item under review.
| Evaluation category | Result | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Color & Size | Product arrived as expected; color and dimensions match* | 100 |
| Assembly | Took a bit longer than stated in the instructions | 90 |
| Durability | Somewhat wobbly at the entrance | 85 |
| Saliva test | Moisture/wetness did not affect the wood | 100 |
| Scratch resistance | Hardly any scratches visible after the test | 100 |
| Total | 95,0 |
* The bed frame is white; the color in the photos is distorted due to lighting conditions.
The assembly of the bed took a bit longer than stated because the instructions could better clarify the holes (what is the top side, what is the underside?). Still, the assembly was relatively straightforward and could be completed without additional tools.
The entrance to the floor bed may experience some reduction in lifespan under prolonged and heavy stress, such as strong pulling or jerking. The saliva test, which used water, was positive—the wood remained undamaged. However, we advise avoiding excessive moisture, as would occur with outdoor use. Additionally, the wood sustained no scratches after being struck by toys and a massage ball.
