After reading the positive reviews and some negative ones, we went ahead and purchased it. It was everything that we expected based on the reviews. Probably sturdier than we expected too. Its a heavy, solid frame. We bought it for our 9 year old. Hes about 65 lbs and 4 1/2 feet tall. We have 8 foot ceilings and he has room to sit up on the bed and can walk under the bed without ducking. Assembly was simple, but a lot of pieces, so it took a few hours. Some pieces might seem like they dont fit, but they do. You just have to loosen screws that you already screwed in then put the piece in place then tighten all the screws again. I read some reviews that say the frame squeaks. Weve had the loft for about a month and havent heard any squeaking. This was definitely a good choice.
