My son really wanted a loft bed and after looking around we found this one and thought it looked good and would hopefully be better built than some of the other beds we could get at the usual places that have flat-packed furniture. From the quality perspective, certainly not. The bed itself is of OK quality, but the chest of drawers, the desk, the desk wheels, etc are low quality, built from simple butt-joints and screws that will certainly break over time.
In a world where we want low-voc finishes and products, this is the opposite. Out of the box is smelled like a chemical factory and it wasn't fleeting, but even with windows open in the room lingered for over 2 weeks. I'm not sure how a company who is selling children's furniture can in good conscious market something that smells like this and has a formaldehyde label on it.
The design was perfect for our son, but the execution would make me suggest that you don't buy it.
