This is a really well-designed and manufactured product.
Despite some complaints in reviews by others about the difficulty of assembly, or the stability of the bed, I found that: all the parts were there (they even provided extra bolts and other small parts), the pieces lined up well for bolting together, the bed looked better than it did online. I have a suggestion for those assembling the bed. Try to get a little longer allen wrench than the one provided, because some of the bolts are difficult to get tight, and this will improve leverage. At the same time be careful with a longer allen wrench that you use common sense when tightening. I believe that Im also going to try to find or manufacture a brace that will attached to the wall studs to make sure that the wall side (in our case a long side) cannot rise up when someone comes up the ladder. As it is now, there is no problem, but I can see that in reality, if my son or a friend is on the bed and the other person tries to climb up (against the warnings by the manufacturer), it could be possible to tip the bed.
