I bought this bed for my son a little over a year ago after losing everything in a house fire. It was a little tedious to put together but we were happy with the results. About a month ago, I saw his mattress (which is really lightweight) start to sag a bit towards the top. I assumed it was the mattress turned it around to even it out. Today it was sagging a lot. After removing the mattress, I see that almost all of the boards at the top had fallen out of the middle placeholders. The metal piece in the support beam is almost completely broken. The bottom half is starting to break in the exact same place. My son is 10 barely 100 lbs. He is the only one that sleeps on his bed. I am very disappointed in this purchase! I had purchased bunk beds for him shortly before the fire despite the fire burning through his entire room into the next townhouse, the metal railings never bent or broke on that bed. Im not sure why this bed couldnt withstand a child sleeping on it every night.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY!
