We bought this for our studio apartment. We considered it a great option since you can store so many things underneath.
The assembly process was a nightmare. Needs at least 2 people. The instructions are also really unclear.
My husband managed to build it on his own, though it was no easy task. You need to buy a screw driver separately for some of the screws. We also used wood glue as adhesive for some of the parts as recommended by other reviewers.
Between me and my husband we weigh over 400lbs, and the mattress weighs an easy 60-70lbs. It fits us great and is pretty sturdy. Not so noisy during intimate times either.
My only complaint is that the ladder is definitely meant for toddlers, so it's a tight squeeze when going up or down the bed, but still manageable.
All in all I'm pretty happy with this purchase. It was awkward at first but now we enjoy sleeping 3ft off the ground, and use the extra space beneath for drawers and other storage
Used for 2 adults
