This bed is very cool looking and the space underneath it is far more usable than I thought it was going to be )
My girls are 6 and 7, and we wanted to upgrade them from their twin over twin bunk bed (where they shared three bottom bunk anyway, since they refuse to separate whilst they sleep). I looked around for a bed that would give them a hang out space underneath it, but everything seemed really short. Not this bed. this thing is taller than me by a lot (Im 52). I literally cant see if my kids are in when theyre sleeping, lol.
As far as the assembly goes, my husband put it together in about 5hrs, but it probably wouldve gone faster with both of us. He conquered this beast while I put together the tv stand, assembled the television, and set up the rest of the room.
Pieces are pretty heavy/sturdy, although there is definitely some wobble once assembly is complete. Thankfully, my kids are small enough that only the 7yr old moves the bed as shes climbing, but Im really not sure how the adults writing these reviews are sleeping well. Im heavier than a lot of 52 women (about 190), but I can still climb the ladder and get in the bed and everything (had to test it like a decent mom before I sent my kids up there). But, if Im being honest, even with the super comfortable mattress we put up there, Id sooner sleep on the floor than listen to the terrifying symphony of creaks coming from this bed while I tried to situate myself.
For us though, this will work out just fine! Their room isnt done yet, but Im excited, so I uploaded a couple of photos of their room so far, showing how much space it takes up from different angles. Will update as more furniture comes in to show full scale )
Awesome bed setup to save space!
