Sturdy and comfortable, definitely adequate support. More comfortable than my expensive bed frame I gave up for this so the kids could have more room to play in our tiny farmhouse. I sleep better in this bed due to the support.
I am 5 tall and I built this by myself. Took 2 hours, and a little bit of problem-solving. But it can be done, so long as you are able-bodied. The worst part of putting it together was the snaps at the end. Hurt my thumbs and many didnt go in for me. I ended up having to ask for help from someone with larger and stronger hands. He even had to leave 2 of the snaps out, because he couldnt push them in. Another thing to think about when assembling is how to get the mattress on. Being my size, I could not do it myself. I did leave off a side rail so that would not be an obstacle. I had to ask a tall friend to put it on. I tried everything I could think of to do it myself, but I just couldnt.
Im about 110 lbs. The bed is very wobbly. It was frightening the first few times, then I got used to it. The bed is sturdy and is certainly not going anywhere. There is also an option to anchor it to the wall if youre worried.
There is no opening at the top of the ladder, so you will have to climb over the rail. That took me a lot of getting used to, having to swing my leg and twist to get in and out of bed.
The ladder rungs do hurt, but that is also something I go used to. I saw a suggestion on here to use pool noodles. I dont think that is a good idea. The rungs are cylindrical metal. If you put a pool noodle on there, it will spin, and you risk injury. I also would recommend not wearing socks on the ladder rungs, since they are smooth and cylindrical. There are tapes that are rubbery that would be much more beneficial if the rungs are that much of a bother. Im sure a hardware store would have something helpful.
With my height, it takes me a few minutes to change the fitted sheet. I imagine if I were taller and had longer arms, it would go quicker, but it still would not be an easy process.
Good quality. Advice a few small issues
