We bought this as a Christmas Gift for our 3 year old daughter. It was the best purchase we made all year. Even though we downsized her bed from a queen to a twin, she has not complained once. The bed was easy to assemble, and only took my husband about 1.5-2 hours to put together. We did receive a cracked piece of wood, but had tremendous customer service and received a replacement within 2 days.
We have not had any issues with the slide being too straight. Both our kids have enjoyed having an indoor slide in the house.
There are lots of other loft with slides out there (we did a ridiculous amount of research), and while this one is a little more pricey than the others, its value is worth it in gold. I love that the slide can go on either side of the bed, and that the hardware matches the white wood. In addition, there is a high weight limit on this bed, so we are still able to lay with our kiddo and read her bedtime stories without being afraid of falling through.
The ONLY minute downside is that we had to go and purchase hardy board to go under the mattress so that the blankets wouldnt go between the slats.
My wife and I were looking for a loft bed to make some more play space in my 3.5yr old son's bedroom. It's a fairly small room and we wanted more room for him to spread out his toys and things on the floor. He loves the new bed and spends quite a bit of time up on the bed part with his books as he does down below playing. We didn't think of how much he would like spending time in the bed part.
Assembly was fairly straight forward and the instructions are complete. The worst part of assembly is putting together the long side of the upper rails. Since there aren't separate fasteners, they have to be slid in at the same time as the end panels go on. Definitely requires two people.
When assembled as delivered, the bed is fairly sturdy. It's not too tall, so it would probably be livable. I decided to make a couple of improvements for its long-term use and peace of mind. The first was that I added 6 more slats to the part that supports the mattress. We are using a 5 thick foam mattress from IKEA and it just seemed too soft in places. With three 1x3's eight feet long, I cut six more slats at 39 and screwed them down just like the others. The next improvement was to use some self-tapping sheet metal screws to join the slats to the steel beam down the center. This made a huge difference in the rigidity of the bed. Finally, I added two anti-tip furniture straps to tie it to the wall.
Overall, I would say that this was a winner. I was hesitant to buy something instead of building it myself, but I think that in this case it was a success. With a couple of inexpensive improvements it became exactly what we needed.
Great purchase for the price. Sturdy, solid wood. It was a task to assemble, and clearer labeling of parts would have made all the difference. My 4 year old loves it though! I used a 6 mattress and there is still plenty of guardrail clearance. Would buy again, but would maybe pay a handy friend to assemble next time.
I love this bed, very sturdy. Only problem I had was putting it together, only 7 parts were labeled the rest I had to label myself. Other that that it was well worth the money! My son is loving it already.
I honestly wasnt expecting it to be so nice. This was going to be a stand in since the one we wanted wasnt going to be available for a while and now we arent even buying the other one. Very impressed. I never give reviews but this one deserved one. She loves her first bed! Thank you!

Nice low loft bed.
Great height. Instructions were fairly easy to follow. One small broken piece in the box with no visible damage to the shipping box.

Now bedtime is even fun!!
Easy to assemble and has zero odor from the paint. Highly recommend this product.

Well worth it
Amazing loft bed. Very sturdy. Steps are a plus. My son loves it.
Love this loft bed!
I like that it has stairs to the bed and that there is lots of room underneath to store stuff.
