We are obsessed! So we obviously used this piece a bit differently than most. Our basement playroom has little square footage, so we decided to create a loft space for additional space for our child to play. This full-size loft was perfect for that need. This piece is incredibly sturdy and very well packaged. It is made out of quality wood and not just some particleboard and laminate design. It took my husband and I about 7 hours to assemble working together. Its assembled largely using an Allen wrench, so I would strongly encourage you to get an Allen wrench drill bit for a power drill to significantly speed up the process. We both commented that had we not had that, it would have definitely taken hours longer. We love the shelf and drawer storage space and the height under the loft and above the loft is perfect for adults to sit comfortably in either space. There is a slatted floor for a mattress, however we covered that with several boards screwed down covered by interlocking foam pieces. The railing is about 1 foot high and provides just enough security to allow us to feel comfortable with our child playing up there. If you had a 10 inch mattress, I would honestly be a little bit nervous about sleeping up there given the potential of possibly rolling off. Overall for our need, this 100% fit the bill and we couldnt be happier! Would highly recommend!
Whole family LOVES this!
