Great price point, decent quality with some room for improvement.
*Update*
Its been a week and we have come into a major issue. The ladder never reached floor despite being flush to the bedframe. This caused the brackets to bend and come off as the provided screws (which were organized per the instructions) were to short to actually hold the wood ladder into place when it didnt reach the floor. Ive contacted the seller but for now its going down to 3 stars as this is a MAJOR flaw.
Ill update this as we use it more, but....
So far its a good loft bed for the price point. Getting it together takes a long time for 2 reasons; one, the instructions are pictures only and a tad confusing (definitely organize everything and lay it out before hand,) and 2, quite a number of the premarked screw points were not aligned properly and had to be done by myself in order to get the parts in place. That being said, some of the wood had cracks where the drilled holes were but not enough that I worried about the integrity of it. Other than having to realign screw holes for the metal support beam for the mattress part of the bed, its pretty sturdy.
All 3 of my kids (10, 4 and 3) play on it all at once, jumping and climbing and it holds them without issues. No creaking, wobbling or loosening bolts thus far. The slide is a bit steep and not suitable for kids to slide down it without pants as its a shiny flex board of a plastic type material and they can definitely get friction burns, so watch for that. The guard rail on the mattress screws in but not nearly tight enough for being comfortable with kiddos hanging on it. Would definitely suggest an anchor spot in the middle and not just the sides to make it more sturdy there.
The underside is roomy, and the playhouse sides stay up beautifully, but make sure you wait to hang them until at least an hour AFTER you put the velcro adhesive on the bedframe as the weight of them will keep it from staying adhered properly to the bed causing them to fall off easy.
All in all pretty great.
