The loft bed is super sturdy and worth the money the only reason Im not giving it a 5 star rating is because the ladder is not easy to climb up. My daughter (5 years and I both have climbed up it. She has a little bit of trouble and Im sure with time will master it but when climbing up it does hurt both of our feet. I would maybe suggest altering the ladder steps somehow.
My husband and I ordered three of these in the twin size, one for each of our children so they had more space in their bedrooms. These beds are aming! I assembled them on my own while my husband was at work. Each bed only took about an hour to assemble. They look great and seem as if they will hold up pretty well (assuming my children are somewhat responsible with them. Great price. Pretty sturdy. They do move a little if I climb onto it, but that may just be an issue with my uneven flooring (old house rather than the beds themselves. Its not enough to cause alarm, and I am attaching the included brackets to the walls just for the added security.
This would have gotten 5 stars except the bottom of one of the legs where the plastic is supposed to be, it was all cracked and partly missing, making the bed wobble and also scratching our floors. The girls love their loft beds other than that small little hiccup! Definitely would purchase again. Takes about 2 hours to put together. We have now put 3 together and hopefully no more after this!
My son has a small room (10x10 and this bed provides more space. He and his uncle assembled the bed over a few hours and so far its working well. One of the things my son didnt plan for is changing the sheets. Please be mindful that it isnt as easy as changing sheets on a traditional bed. Also, we used pool noodles to pad the stairs. Without padding, it hurts the feet when climbing up/down.
Very good bed for the price, in my opinion! Super easy to assemble for one person alone, even standing it upright and moving it around. Plenty of spare hardware, too! Some things I will HIGHLY suggest for the assembly process: 1, obey the directions. Do not get ahead of yourself, no matter how much you might want to jump the gun and juuust put that ooone little part in before the other. And obey the directions when they tell you not to tighten the screws all they way until youre done. Trust me on this. And 2, no matter what the other reviews say, DO NOT SKIP THE LITTLE GREY SQUARES!!! They are absolutely vital to the integrity and stability of the bed! Prepare your thumbs, because it WILL hurt like hell. Use something to apply pressure to help snap them in that will save your fingers, but DONT hammer them!!
Now, the bed is pretty stable for a loft bed, but could stand to be a lot better, like a thin bar across the floor to keep the front legs a little more secure. The height is great, even for a lower ceiling. I can sit up just fine and not bump my head, and was able to fit a full desk under the bed on one side, and a full size table on the other, with plenty of room for my rolling chair underneath and plenty of head room. Its an INCREDIBLE space saver! My only problems with the bed are that its scarily wobbly, especially when climbing up. If you have any kind of molding on your baseboard, the bed is going to be a bit further from the wall than youll want. The L brackets included will not reach, and youll have to get creative with how you secure it to said wall. Make SURE you secure it to studs only. Even secured though, its still frighteningly wobbly, so be aware of that. Every tiny movement you make, you WILL feel dramatically in the entirety of the bed. Its very audibly creaky, too. It is the shakiest when climbing up into the bed, and the lack of a dip or space in the railing makes it a bit of an annoying challenge to get in and out of. My other complaint is shared by everyone else in that the ladder rungs are INCREDIBLY narrow, at best approx 5/8ths of an inch diameter, and are very painful on the feet. Theyre also super smooth and offer zero traction. HOWEVER, my biggest complaint is that the motion of climbing in and out happens to force the rungs to loosen and turn little by little, unscrewing them from the ladder. Climbing up one night, the middle rung turned on its screws and rotated inward like a smooth little conveyor belt roll, flinging my leg through and causing me to fall. If I hadnt had an excellent grip on the top rail at the time, I absolutely would have broken that leg. Thankfully I was only left with a substantial amount of paint. So, daily tightening of the rungs is what Im reduced to, and considering a contact cement on the bolts. Instead of the pool noodle trick most folks do to make the rungs more comfortable, I instead chose a route of safety, and used reflective-striped non-skid stick-on stuff used for outdoor stairs, cut into strips that fit the rungs and circled them around completely. This way has kept my feet from slipping off and makes me more aware if the rungs start to become slightly loose again. Definitely recommend this trick, especially more than pool noodles which can also themselves spin around the rungs.
All-in-all, decent product, even for an adult like me, which is great for anyone who doesnt mind climbing into and out of it. Excellent for anyone in college who needs to save space in small living quarters. I prefer the top bunk in a military barracks to this loft bed, is that says anything, but its not the worst bed by any means. Definitely recommend it over anything a certain large Swedish store sells for your own assembly. Its the perfect game changer for a tiny room, regardless of your age. Just know that if you have to pee in the middle of the night, you will hate life. If you get thirsty, then it sucks to be you. If you have diarrhea, vomiting, or are drunk, then youre better off sleeping on the floor. Do NOT use ANY amount of haste getting in or out of this bed, period. Its really a pain to get in and out of, due to the height of the railing that sticks up higher than the mattress. If you have male anatomy, youre going to rack it multiple times, and theres no avoiding that. Even as a female, theres no avoiding it. Despite its flaws, its actually the best loft bed Ive found, especially for the price, after doing a LOT of research. I do recommend it, just beware that nothing is perfect.
Cat absolutely loves it.
We have 3 girls sharing a smallish bedroom. This loft bed made the best use of the space our girls have. Now the little girls have a play area hiding under the loft and our oldest has an area all to herself up away from the younger girls. Everybody seems happy and it really made the best use of a small area!
Absolutely love this loft bed and desk for our son! The only issue we had was one corner of the desk came broken off. Otherwise, would have given 5 stars.
I feel like it could use some bracing as it is slightly wobbly. The directions are not clear as to which side is up or goes where but we eventually figured it out. My 12yr old is very happy.
