I am a 230lb 510 man, I have slept in this bed nightly for over 2yrs, I sleep well and the bed is 100%. I assembled it myself, it is rather light-weight wood (pine?) and uses the current day cheap-O fasteners (some kind of bolt threaded drum thing) but the fit of the joints was excellent, so I used P2000 construction adhesive on ALL joints except those allowing the bed to be separated into-two beds. I have even climbed into the top bunk with my 5yo son to read him bedtime stories dozens of times and it hasn’t complained, not one squeak. I attribute the bed’s success to the adhesive. A full grown man could regularly use the top bunk but I would advise adding 1x6’s between the included 1x3’s…. such use is at the limit of their strength when you’re “climbing-in”. Mattress arrives rolled-up and is surprisingly comfortable.
Surprisingly sturdy
