Best purchase yet! Our son loves it! He has a small room so sitting up and placed some storage under it gives him lots of room now and a little reading nook under neath.
I bought this bed for my daughter and almost didnt after reading some of the negative reviews. Let me start by saying that, once assembled, the bed feels sturdy and high quality. I have had no issues since assembling the bed related to quality.
Now on to the actual information
Like other reviewers, we did have parts of the bed which came in the package dented and paint chipped. When we noticed the damage on the initial piece, we began inspecting other pieces in earnest, but only found a single piece damaged. Since we had to clear out my daughters old bed to make room for this one, my daughter was without a bed and the damage wasnt significant enough to cause us concern, so we continued construction.
The instructions come in a small packet that makes the bed assembly look deceptively simple. Do not make mine and my wifes mistake. We encountered multiple issues with the fit of certain elements and, at least once, disassembled a piece we had assembled per the instructions in order to get a piece to fit properly before tightening the screws back down. Assembly took us approximately 4.5 hours.
Make sure you measure your space, as well. We made a decision early on for where her bed would be and, since we had a queen size bed and frame there previously with headboard and footboard, it was our assumption (you know what they say about those) that it would fit. It didnt. The page says the assembled length is a little more than 80 inches, but, in fact, by my measurements, the product dimension of 92.5 may be the accurate dimension.
I would also recommend a good power drill and a comfortable screw/driver with allen bits. The included allen wrench is sufficient, but there is an incredible amount of screwing on the pieces, sometimes in tight spaces (depending on your workspace) and your wrist is likely to get tired. The pre/drilled holes on the stairs also did not match when it came to the hinges, so we had to drill our own.
Once assembled, though, this is a heavy and sturdy piece of furniture. I ascended to lay in the bed. The mattress and I came to more than the maximum load of 200lbs, but I never felt unsafe. I have no doubt that this bed will withstand the slumber parties, fort making, jumping, and imagination play of my children. For that, it deserves 4 stars. I deducted only for the misfits, small damage, and incorrect measurements on the page.
Takes forever to put together but my son loves his bed. The option to buy different covers to transform the area under the bed are great! Sturdier than I thought it would be, but make sure youre handy with a screwdriver and reading instructions.
Not super sturdy. This is the second loft bed Ive purchased and this one was far more complicated to put together. It took me over 3 hours. Its very cute but colors in picture a bit off. Its more of a cream color and the steps are super hot pink. If it wasnt such a pain to put together/take apart I would contemplate returning. Box was badly damaged and cut open upon arrival. Many pieces are scratched and dinged up. The steps are cute but the bottom one doesnt fit correctly and you basically have to lift that side of the bed up to get it to slide out or in. Very irritated to see that I purchased it for 232.00 on November 5th and today it is listed at 187.00.
Its the perfect height! We have had taller loft beds and they are a pain to make and change the sheets. This one is high enough that my 4 year old can still play under it, but its easy east to make. The stairs are sturdy and he uses the drawer and built in cabinet to store and play with toys. we bought the Firehouse curtain to go with it and it is super cute. He loves it!
There are just so many pieces and its very overwhelming. It took me weeks to do because I work full time and a family. There are certain things the instructions dont tell you. Like the elbow looking bars, because its you need to unless the other attachments to make it more managable and then tighten again. Nonetheless, my child loved the end result.
The seems sturdy but the wooden storage steps are terrible. The holes did not line up and they took hours to put together!! Came with a ton of parts. Plan to spend at least 4/5 hours on it.

Good bed; measurements on page incorrect.

A perfect size for a toddler with too many toys
Takes forever to put together but my son loves his bed. The option to buy different covers to transform the area under the bed are great! Sturdier than I thought it would be, but make sure youre handy with a screwdriver and reading instructions.
Cute but time consuming and beat up.

You must have patience to put this together
There are just so many pieces and its very overwhelming. It took me weeks to do because I work full time and a family. There are certain things the instructions dont tell you.
