The bed is very nice, looks great. The downfall is the sturdiness. My 9 year old (70 lbs) just climbing up the ladder, causes the bed to shake a lot. Also, when assembling, the ladder does not have an ankor for the top so you must use zip ties to secure.
I am a 115 pound 41 year old woman. I bought this twin loft for myself because our house has a very odd layout and the only expandable space is upwards.
The package arrived, and I was able to assemble the bed, by myself, in about 2 hours. You really need to have a second person towards the end when its time to connect the two sides, but it CAN be done by one person if you have good spatial reasoning.
I left the upper front rail off, as the ladder doesnt give me enough clearance to clamber over the rails. The bed should definitely be anchored to the wall; if you have drywall or protruding baseboards, youll need to procure your own wall anchors, which is totally acceptable.
The bed is pretty sturdy even without the anchors (which I am getting today). I have it positioned over a full sized bed, both facing the same way. I just slid the loft over the top of the bed; the back rail mid/way up is the same height as the full bed I have underneath.
The only concern I have is the mattress rails and the little plastic toggles that go along the center of them. They seem to be a little flimsy. As stated above, Im 115 pounds, and I got up there after I positioned the loft in order to put the back rail on. The bed held my weight, but the little plastic toggles would slip off. Theyre shaped to fit into one another; one end has one hook, the other end has 2 with a space between them. The weak spots seem to be the end with only one hook. Im going to look into getting something to reinforce the slats better.
Overall, this is a good loft and I had absolute no problems understanding the instructions. Just pay attention to the pictures, and look ahead if you dont understand something, but I highly recommend this loft.
Took us about 2 hours to build, definitely a two person job. Good quality, seems very sturdy. Our queen bed fits nicely underneath. Satisfied with the purchase thus far.
Good design and construction but use loctite to insure that it stays tight.
If youre mechanically inclined then dont bother too much with the instructions (poor translation causes confusion) if youre not than just pay for the installation and give them loctite to use
Ive put together a fair amount of furniture in my life, and can sometimes get by without even looking at the instructions. Everything started well with putting this bunk bed together. Until it came time to install the long bars between the headboard and footboard. There are several different configurations, depending on whether you want the ladder on the right or left. Unfortunately the instructions gave zero guidance on this, and you are left guessing which long bar to use for bottom bunk, top bunk, back or front, so we put it together and took it apart no less than three times. Unbelievably insane and frustrating. A two hour job turned into 4/5 hours and I dont ever want to assemble another piece of furniture again for the rest of my life. Now that its over and a few months have passed, I can admit that its a nice sturdy bed and my son enjoys it.
Okay so Im a 29 year old man who decided to get a loft bed. The bed was easy to set up. I recommend 2 people but you can do it with one. I weigh 230lbs and this bed can hold me up like a champ. I did so much research on this bed because come on. Youre either a minimalist, a parent or a space saver. The loft saved me so much room and its great. There is one downside of having a loft bed though. The bars on the ladder are unforgiving on bare feet. What I did to counter this is put a pool noodle on them. Youll thank me later. another down side is that if you like to have playtime in the bedroom then forget it. you may want the loft with a futon below it.

Not sturdy enough for comfort
The bed is very nice, looks great. The downfall is the sturdiness. My 9 year old (70 lbs) just climbing up the ladder, causes the bed to shake a lot. Also, when assembling, the ladder does not have an ankor for the top so you must use zip ties to secure.
Just what I need for my kids
Very nice metal bed frame strong and just what I need
One of the easiest assemblies Ive done

Brighton Classic Metal Twin over Loft Bunk Bed, Twin Size, Mint Green
Nice, bright and fresh color. Very sturdy.
Kids love it
This created more room for my kids to have space to move around it. We added a deck under the bed as well.
We like it

Use loctite
Good design and construction but use loctite to insure that it stays tight. If youre mechanically inclined then dont bother too much with the instructions (poor translation causes confusion) if youre not than just pay for the installation and give them loctite to use
Perfect fit in room, son loves it
Wish bars all around were a bit thicker.

Wow Im so happy with this thing.
