I bought this for my son and he absolutely loves it. He and I put it together with very little problem. It seems fairly sturdy although it does sway a bit as you climb on it and move around. It’s not enough movement to scare my son though (& he’s generally a chicken), so it is sturdy enough. We’ve had close to 300 lbs on it including the mattresses & bedding with nary a squeak. He says it sleeps really comfortably (that could also be the 2 mattresses we have on it). The ladder is a bit hard on the feet, but unless you’re standing on the ladder for an extended time, it’s not really an issue. Neither my son or daughter likes that you have to climb over the rail to get into the bed, though. I figure that was partially for added stability, so it’s not that big or an issue to me. The space underneath is very nice. It’s higher underneath than my daughter’s wooden loft bed of similar proportions. It is obviously fairly dark underneath, but we’ll be using rope lighting to fix that. As it is, he has a 32” TV on his dresser and a recliner under the bed and everything fits quite nicely. It’s his own personal man cave within his room. Moving his dresser underneath his bed has really opened up the room. He likes the silver metal color of the bed since it goes so well with his camouflage and industrial steel decor.
Very nice for the price
