This bed has exceeded my expectations.
Completely solid wood- I was shocked expecting some pieces to be cheap particle board.
We got this for my 2.5 year old. I was so nervous about a loft bed for his age, but the stairs option has put my nerves completely at ease! And the storage in the stairs is such a bonus. Small-ish but still completely useful! Small blankets, sheets and his pajamas.
Assembly Note: other reviews mentioned the stairs were a pain to put together so my husband and I put the stairs partially together one night and the rest of the bed another day. I think this was a great way to assemble. It wasnt overwhelming and we didnt have to rush anything.
Also, while its not recommended we did use power tools and it went very quickly and easily. And I feel more comfortable with the sturdiness using a drill than just my finger strength and an Allen wrench.
Total between the 2 days it was maybe 2-2.5 hours. And thats with a toddler helping
We purchased a 6 mattress which sits about the bottom/middle of the middle rail (see photos) perfect for my son and for my comfort level that he wont somehow roll out.
