Overall it was a great purchase for the price. The biggest challenge is definitely taking the time to build it. This is one of the most challenging build it yourself items I have had to work with. You will def need two people to piece together the left and right sides of the bed together, and if you get the stairs (like I did) be prepared to spend another 1-2 hours at least putting those together. The instructions were good enough, better than I was anticipating per some of the reviews. The challenges I had are the following:
- screws are not labeled outside of cartoon drawing describing each screw so for the most part you can figure it out, but it just takes a lot of unnecessary hassle for something that could be fixed by just marking the bags of screws the same way the bed parts are labeled
- there were some minor mistakes, item 13 was labeled 14 (and 14 was 13), instructions were conflicted on some early steps by identifying one screw in the summary but a different screw in the actual step
- some of my parts had minor cracks, nothing concerning but still shouldnt be that way when brand new
- the plugs used to plug the unused staircase screw holes did not fit properly, so doesnt look as good as it could
- one of the step connections was angled too much to where the fastener could not screw in properly, in the end I couldnt screw in that step properly, but luckily there are enough fasteners everywhere else so it doesnt seem to be a problem
Also my completed bed seems very sturdy which contradicts some of the other reviews that the bed is wobbly, so it may be hit or miss in quality (I happen to just get a good one) or perhaps minor
mistakes in building it could cause the bed to become wobbly which reconfirms the challenge of building this thing right.
Despite the challenge in putting it together, I still recommend it for the price. It seems pretty sturdy, even I jumped into the bed with my son and felt
secure. And the best part is he absolutely loves it (he turns 3 years old next month)
This bed is amazing and gorgeous but dont have put it together for you. I had put the bed together. The steps are not aligned with the bed and the railings to the steps are not aligned properly either. Also they damaged the front bottom rail. I wish they would have sent someone out that has experience in putting things together not a regular driver. I do feel that I should get my money back for this because now I have to go and fix it so my granddaughter doesnt hurt herself.
Gorgeous bed and very sturdy. Did have a crack in one piece as seen on many others. Otherwise it is perfect. Assembly is time consuming but the directions are thorough and easy to follow.
I was looking for a loft bed for my 5 year old that had a higher weight capacity and also had more room underneath for him to play, and eventually for storage underneath. Great bed so far with enough room for him. It is a little wobbly and not as sturdy as I would have liked but it works for a young child.
Super cute and nearly exactly what I was hoping for! Really the only downfall is the steepness of the slide, which was a little disappointing since its the reason I bought it. But with some pillows at the bottom it helped a ton to soften the landing from such a quick ride! Overall, it was an awesome purchase! Just be ready for a lengthy assembly lol
Im so disappointed with how wobbly this bed is. My sons only 3 and small for his age and it just is SO wobbly. Also we needed to purchase one of the boards with slats going the opposite direction to keep the mattress from going through the slats. The construction of the bed otherwise is great, the quality is great of the actual wood, it was easy to put together and we love the space it creates for play underneath but man, Id have chosen a different bed of I knew how wobbly it would be :/ going to try to rig up supports I guess but the last thing I wanna do is be making modifications/painting rails, etc. We just wanted a sturdy loft bed for our son. Maybe my expectations were too high.

Perfect space
My grandson loves his bed; and the space under the bed.
Well worth it!
