I purchased this bed after trying out a full metal loft bed, which was a shaky/noisy disaster. This one is quite sturdy. I made sure not to tighten the bolts until after the entire thing was assembled, and then went around the entire bed a few times to tighten with the hand allen wrench. I did use an impact driver on the lowest setting for everything except the final tightening, as to avoid stripping out the wood screws where used.
Unlike some other reviewers I got the instructions in the box, and had zero damaged pieces or misaligned holes.
There are a couple of reviews that mention the bed not accommodating a Twin mattress -- I measured 76-1/2 of space, which leaves a little bit of extra room on top of a standard 75 mattress. I don't see how a Twin XL would fit.
Stable and looks good
