The only detractor to this product is the amount of effort that goes into assembly. I say detractor in quotes because I love that kind of stuff, but if you dont, its a lot of work and it isnt too hard to accidentally assemble most of the bed with some of the pieces facing the wrong way. Because I dont care about that kind of thing—its part of the adventure for me—I gave the product all 5 stars. Other than that…
The bed is great, its sturdy (it held me at over 200lbs), it isnt very tall so it is great for younger kids (3-10), and the space below is so fun for play! It is perfect for creating forts/tents and for maximizing floor space in smaller rooms. I got it for my 11yo, which wasnt a great idea because he would only be able to use it for a year or two before he would be too big/heavy for the bed. The slats holding the mattress are pretty darned sturdy, but I just wouldnt feel comfortable with a teenager sleeping on it every day. Its really for younger kids. I ended up giving it to my brother whose son is 6.
Great, Fun, Meant for Ages 3-10
