Sturdiness is QUESTIONABLE. Careful when assembling!
I share my room with a family member and have been wanting more space and privacy. I decided to get a loft bed so I can place curtains on the bottom half for my desk area. Thankfully, this loft bed fits in my 8 foot tall ceiling and I could lay back on the wall to read. (I am 57 and 150 lbs.) however, I cant sit up straight or my head will hit the ceiling. My mattress is 10 inches thick and it fits fine on the frame but I wouldnt recommend it for children. Space underneath fits a desk and bookshelf easily! The downside is the ladder is incredibly uncomfortable to climb up and the trip down is also an inconvenience (especially if you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.) If you have the money, get a loft bed with steps. Also, this bed seems to shake A LOT which makes me question how stable it really is. Hopefully it doesnt break on me because I have my computer setup right underneath. One last thing, BE CAREFUL WHEN ASSEMBLING! When I was on the step of putting the foot and head of the bed together, the middle long pole broke slightly due to its own weight when I picked up the frame. Im hoping it wont be a problem because of the other support beams on the bed. I dont think this should last more than a year or two. This is great for a temporary bed but if you really like the loft style, invest in a more expensive one.
