I’m very happy with this bed, or my daughter is, BUT it was a bit of a pain to put together. It came with the hex wrenches needed to build it. I would have rather used my drill and not spent so much time turning the bolts by hand. That being said, I put the two ends together on my own. I had to get my teenager to help with finishing because the room in which we built the bed didn’t have enough floor space to build the top on its side and then flip it upright.
At any rate, my queen size bed fits under this loft bed, which is what I needed. My daughter loves her top bunk, and I’m overall happy with this purchase.
Be aware, this bed squeaks a LOT. As in, every time my daughter flips over in her sleep. Once I’m asleep it doesn’t bother me too much but I have to send her to bed at least a half hour before I go to bed (which is fairly early since I get up at 4am for work).
Also, I bought pool noodles, cut them to fit the ladder rungs, and slipped the rungs through the noodles before putting the bed together. It’s much easier on my daughter’s feet. I also added one to the top side rails after it was built to save her knees as she goes over the top rail. Probably my only complaint about the design is that there is no opening in the head/foot rails at the top of the ladders.
Decent little bed
