Decent, sturdy loft bed - no complaints and sleeping like a baby on my futon mattress
This is perfect for my living situation because I have so much stuff and am in a studio apartment. Putting it together was a bit challenging because I just sort of glanced through the instructions and went for it. It seems like my first attempt, I put everything together backwards, so I had to take it all apart and put it back together the right way. But the hardest part was standing up the two final halves of the frame and connecting it all together.
The total package really long and heavy so if you are ordering this before you move to a new place like I did, I would recommend opening the box and moving everything separately. Most of the pieces are grouped together in plastic.
The pieces are really loud if you drop them so be mindful if you got downstairs neighbors, and if you can find someone to help you, thats even better.
I heard some people say that this is really noisy frame, so I made sure to screw everything together slowly and carefully. For me this is no louder than any normal bed frame Ive previously owned. Its actually quieter than the bed frame that I just got rid of. I tightened the screws as tight as I felt I needed to, but not too tight because I might want to take this back apart and bring it with me next time I move. It only wobbles when Im climbing the ladder.
Im only 5ft-3 so I have a little more than half a foot head clearance when Im sitting at my desk under this frame. Under the loft bed I have a computer set up with dual screens, and also a ton of DJ equipment. So far I havent hit my head standing up. When Im watching movies, I often find myself grabbing the support beams and stretching my arms and back.
UPDATE: 9/28/2017 - Its been about 9 months and still A OK
