So far my kids have been using it for 3 months and it seems durable, roomy, and most of all my 8yr old and 4 yr old love it and sleep comfortably in it.
The futon part is a little stiff to move at first but gets easier with use. With a thick enough mattress, the bars can't be felt. My 17-year-old son loves it!
I put this bed together by myself in a couple of hours. I carried it piece, by piece up the stairs and managed to do it by myself. It is a great bed and my daughter loves it.
I was hesitant to buy this bed due to some of the negative reviews--after all, my kid's safety is my number one concern. However, there was still an abundance of positive reviews that far out number the negative. I'm glad I pulled the trigger and purchased this bed, it's great quality at a great price.
I'm not sure why so many people were complaining about poor instructions or the length of time it took to assemble. The instructions were fairly straight forward, I didn't have a single issue--just read the instructions and look at the pictures closely. In regards to the assembly time, it took me 2 1/2 hours to assemble by myself. That might be lengthy to some, but considering the amount of pieces and the fact that I did it myself, I think I made pretty good time. You're building a bunk bed, you kind of have to have the expectations going into this that it will take some time.
The best advice I can give:
1. When you install the upper cross bar labeled 'Part H', Make sure the small screw holes are facing DOWN! If you do this incorrectly, you will not be able to install the ladder and will have to disassemble everything to that point.
2. If you're using this for a young child and are concerned about them falling off the top, I would recommend not getting a mattress thicker than 8". We purchased the Signature Sleep Contour 8" mattress off and it's perfect. It leaves exactly 6" from the top of the mattress to the top of the guardrail.
Overall, the bed seems really sturdy. My 6 year old sleeps on the top and my 3 year old on the bottom. I have laid on the bottom without any issues, I'm 210 lbs. Not to be rude, but I'm fairly confident that most of the negative reviews about this bed are likely caused by human error--simple as that. Take your time and don't rush it!
This came as a huge long heavy package, but it was pretty easy to unpack and inventory all the pieces (and I'm 4 months pregnant). Instructions very pretty clear and easy to follow, but it does take two people when putting the ends upright together. It was much easier to put the mattress on top before we installed the front side bars, as its a heavy full-size pillow top. When the bed was all put together and I climbed up to the top, it does shake slightly and a couple squeaks but otherwise felt very sturdy. This loft bed was built for my small 10yld, so I'm not concerned about the weight limit of 300lbs. I will say the metal ladder rungs hurt my feet pretty bad, and eventually my 10yld said the same thing. Easy fix for that, with putting cut to size pool noodles covered with duct tape on each rung. Now they feel good when climbing to the top.
