So, I recently purchased a home and my daughter needed a loft bed to make her floor space a little larger, this measured as a perfect fit in the space she has.
Assembly was pretty smooth, the instructions weren't super clear but I've assembled stuff like this a LOT so I could easily identify what to do. Assembly definitely requires 2 people as connecting the 2 sides is incredibly difficult to attempt alone, and yes, I did intentionally try to see if I could do it and although possible it is NOT recommended. The marks in my hardwood are proof.
Upon Assembly completion we slid it into place, made my daughters bed snd let her climb in. There is no "cutout" to make getting on and off easier, you just hop the side which is a little nervewracking as it's quite tall and she has already slipped trying to get down, just be extra cautious while adjusting to it. The ladder is a bit more narrow than anticipated
The anchoring system is useless, it's not strong enough snd the bed still wiggles a bit. I'd suggest getting a brace system for better support
All in all it's what we expected mostly, good for the price but the fact that it's lightweight means it wobbles and slides a bit. It will last my daughter for a few years which is what we planned on anyways
Better than expected
