My daughter and I put this together in about 2 hours. Two important things to remember: make sure the top rails are on the right side AND facing the right way(starter holes for connecting rails/ladder are on ONE side), Make sure the bottom rail IS the bottom rail (it wont have any starter holes). It seems not very sturdy at first, but once put together and tightened, it is impressive for this price range. I dont recommend this for a child that is rambunctious and will try to swing from the rail, bounce around or sway the bed. Its not a toy or a dance platform. It will loosen over time with that kind of force and become unstable. After two weeks my daughter said it became shaky so I re/tightened all the bolts (dont over tighten or you will strip the nuts) and that took care of it. A great bed for a great price! Well worth the purchase.
Good bed but not that sturdy. You feel the whole bed shaking when you move around on the bed. I think its a given with the loft bed kind of design. Other than that its a good design and good buy. My daughter loves this. You should buy.
My daughter absolutely loves this loft bed. We got it for her as a Christmas gift and its everything we wanted and we are glad we made this purchase. We added some curtains to the bottom for a little privacy reading nook. Perfect and Sturdy.
We looked and looked at loft beds before picking this one. For the price we are very happy / the quality is good and the bed seems sturdy. I write this more to help you think before you buy to be sure its a good fit for you as loft beds to pose some challenges.
1. Are you comfortable standing on a ladder while you change sheets/make the bed?
2. Consider buying a table accessory that attaches to the frame for your child to keep a bottle of water or books, etc
3. Be prepared to tag team with someone if you have to put your child to bed after theyve fallen asleep / someone up top in the bed and someone below to hand the child up.
4. Talk to your child about whether they will be comfortable sleeping up that high / not afraid.
The first two we thought of before we bought the bed and thought the advantage of more play space out weighed the inconvenience, but we didnt think about the last two things. I think we would have still gone with it, but just something to think about. Awesome!
I thought it was really easy to set up given Ive never set up furniture. If you take the time to organize your pieces by letter and read the directions step by step you should not have any issues as they make it super clear for you. Having a third person to help hold pieces together is SUPER helpful. The hardest part is when you need to assemble the bars that hold the front and the ends together, if they arnt held well theyll keep falling off and you cant screw one at a time because once they are screwed in the other two bars wont be able to be put on, so you need to give each one a little leeway and they all need to be put on at the same time. I thought maybe laying it flat on the floor instead of holding everything up maybe would have made it easier. The material is the same stuff ikea furniture is made out of so you cant force anything or itll split. I took the advice of another persons review and added more brackets to secure the bed to the wall and I definitely recommend that. Im 26 and I feel completely comfortable on the bed. So far Im happy with my purchase. Fair for the price.

Great affordable Loft
Bought this for my son and he loves it. It wasnt hard to assemble. Its fairly sturdy, but does rock a bit. Thats to be expected Very durable.
Sturdy for price
We are really happy with this bed. Much more sturdy than I thought Very good value.
This is a great bed. You must re/tighten after a week or two!
