I adore this bed. I live in a studio and I wanted something that gave me more space and man did this bed deliver. It takes an afternoon but it wasnt overly difficult to put together and is quite sturdy. Ive had this bed for 3 years now and its held up great. I have a twin mattress and used the extra space to create a bookshelf using crates and a long board as a shelf. Between me, my cat, and the books, Id say the bed holds about 275lbs. It does creak a bit when you move around but its sturdy enough. I do recommend securing it to the wall though; that does make a difference. The only complaint I have is that the steps are pretty hard and it takes a while to get used to them; once you do though, you dont even notice them.
Wonderful Bed
