Love it but its creaking by day 3 and I only weigh 180 + 80lb mattress.
GOOD: came with all the parts, extra screws and plastic caps, screwdriver, nice! Some parts are fairly heavy and hard to balance on your shoulder while screwing in, second person would really help. Instructions are easy to understand for someone who grew up building Legos.
BAD: Some parts seemed to be printed slightly off by a couple millimeters or centimeters. I had to wedge the side gaurd rail into the foot rail with all my strength to get it aligned with the screw hole on the ladder. Same where the desk meets the rear supports, I cant get the final screw in to the desk as it seems to be half an inch away on the support. NO WASHERS FOR THE BOLTS!
Bought this as it seemed to have the highest weight capacity for a loft here. Its already creaking but Im going to attempt to add washers and longer higher grade bolts to accommodate. Love the design but doesnt feel entirely sturdy and the screw alignment issues worry me that I got a defective set.
4 stars for now, 5 if I can get the final screw in the desk and stop the creaking, 0 if the creaking gets worse or anything fails due to the desk not being able to screw in. Smaller than I expected.
