We got this bed frame for our 7 year old with the intent of keeping it until she is 12-13. First off- it is HEAVY. We recommend a dolly or two people to lift or move it so you dont damage it or other things in your house trying to move it. If you are completely solo, lay out a rug and drag the rug.
Main concerns people mentioned were that it was hard to assemble and that it wasnt very sturdy. We disagree with both. For us, it was 1 adult all the way, a second adult helping occasionally and our 7 year old as a side kick to the main adult on the project. Really, a single adult could probably handle it fine aside from moving the box as a whole.
Everything arrived in excellent condition and VERY early (3 days before predicted delivery- a surprise with COVID19 causing delivery disruption).
The half loft space is enough for a few bean bags and a play area for our 7 year old and the 4 year old sibling. It is a cute play space that expands the amount of room given that there is a full sized bed inside the space. It fits a regular full size mattress on top. The slat bed design is much sturdier than we expected, with each slat screwed into the frame.
It says it holds 500lbs. We havent tested that limit. But our 7 year old and 4 year old have been up there together (total 85lbs). I plan to be up there for bedtime story with our 7 year old (would be about 215lbs combined). We have made it abundantly clear that they are not allowed to jump on the bed. Given that are kids are small, I actually think this bed might handle it- but of course- I do NOT want to challenge this!
Overall, we are pleased with the strength, stability and build of this bedframe! I think we got our moneys worth.
Good design, easy to assemble. No complaints!
