I bought this because I needed a cheap loft frame but was nervous that anything cheaper than $200 was going to be super flimsy. Putting this together took a total of 4 hours and was a labor intensive process. Half of the pieces didn't fit together right according to the manual. We had to physically push and pull them to line up and we still have unconnected pieces that don't line up no matter how hard we force them. It shakes quite a bit going up and down the ladder, but it's decently sturdy once you're laying on it. Overall I'd say I'm fairly happy with it for the price, but if I'd known assembly would be such a hassle and I'd still have pieces not put together properly- I never would have bought it. Looking through the reviews it seems that not many people had assembly issues so there's a chance I just got a few defective parts. My only other issue was totally my fault, I read the review that mentioned there was no cut out at the ladder and you have to scale the railing to get onto the bed. However I underestimated how difficult that would be.
Good enough for the price
