Lifting the bed frame up was the only difficult part of the assembly. I actually started with assembling the ladder before starting with the right and left frame. I had two problems because of my height (5 ft) and ceiling height was 8 ft. So I had to get creative replaced the 6 mattress and bedding on top with a two inch high density foam mattress and a 4 x 6 high pile rug which my daughter loves sleeping on and is easy for me to remove and machine wash. The five stars is for the excellent overall assembly. Practically managed to do all by myself (although I would not recommend it unless you have no choice). This is sturdy enough for upto 70lb but more than I am not comfortable.
Our box came looking like it had been to war so I was quite concerned about the product but everything was in perfect condition! So extra credit to the interior packaging!
Total build took us 3.5 hours but that includes one fifteen minute break and one major direction issue! We used a drill rather than the provided allenkey but made sure to have it on a low power setting and not to very tighten. Wed probably still be working if we had just used the allenkey. We also did need the recommended rubber mallet as some of the wooden dowels used for assembly did not want to go in. The issue we had was that the lower headboards support the and they have a correct direction that is not indicated in the directions. Thanks to some quick thinking we were able to correct the issue without too much trouble but it cost us about a half hour to so.
The product seems like it is made from quality wood. We didnt encounter any splitting and after building the bed and seem quite sturdy.
The biggest issue didnt have to do with the item itself but the delivery. It took quite awhile for it to come and I had paid for delivery on a particular date and time and they missed the delivery date and I had to wait five additional days. Since I had already sold the bed we had my daughter ended up sleeping on a mattress on the floor for a week. So definitely build in some extra shipping time to your plan.
Delivery was a little slow to get here. The product is very sturdy and easy to put together. Only suggestion would be if the company could do a better job of labeling the hardware, possibly separating them in the plastic bags and labeling the bags with the bolt sizes. It took extra time trying to make sure you are using the correct bolts when putting it together. Overall we are very satisfied with the loft bed
This bed is working for what we need it for. With online school, this has been great as a space saver and giving my daughter her own workspace. I didnt like that you could see the slats in Zoom calls, so we bought wainscoting and had my daughter decorate it and hung it up underneath. It allowed her to personalize it and it looks really great! The one thing I really dont like is the sturdiness of it. I dont feel like its going to fall apart, but it is very wobbly given the thin wood used to hold it up. But for the price and knowing she probably wont be using it for a long period of time, it does the job.
I bought this loft bed for my 9 year old daughter to create more space in her shared room. I love the shelves (she has a lot of books). My husband and I took quite a few hours to assemble the bed, but it was fairly easy the instructions were pretty clear. Its just time consuming takes lots of patience, but its worth it. Super sturdy! I researched many loft beds for a while before finding this one this is one of the best Ive seen. Worth every penny.
My dad and 2 kids assembled it and didnt have any issues. The arrived with a ding in the front which I had read in the reviews was common. It does scratch easy during assembly so be careful of that. The ladder slips some if you dont get the pads on just right. Otherwise its great. She loves it. Careful about putting a lot deep mattress on it. They are the same height as the railings. We had to find a smaller mattress so we didnt risk her falling out.
This was a hit with my daughter. The instructions say it might take 90 minutes to assemble. It took more like 3 hours / mostly because there are so many parts and no one wants to have to do something more than once. Take your time and get it right. Great bed. Lots of storage.

Great Loft bed with and book shelves. My child loves it.
Mattress was too thick! and difficult to change sheets

College dorm feel
Perfect for my college daughter who is home from the dorms. Gives her more space to herself underneath!
Great loft bed for the price

Functional but not the most sturdy
This bed is working for what we need it for. With online school, this has been great as a space saver and giving my daughter her own workspace. I didnt like that you could see the slats in Zoom calls, so we bought wainscoting and had my daughter decorate it and hung it up underneath.

So far, so good!
Bought for my 12yr old son. So far so good . has a lot of space and is big enough for a computer. Thank you!

Took MUCH longer to assemble than the instructions said but worth it.
