Finally getting around to upgrading my nearly five-year-olds room. A big kid bed was the first step. A low loft bed appealed to me for safety and storage capacity underneath. This was no frills, affordable, and appeared to be good quality.
My daughter helped me organize all the pieces, which were clearly labeled. The instructions were simple enough. We finished in 3 hours, and you can decide for yourself if a child assisting helps or hinders that time, lol. I felt the assembly was pretty easy, as I didnt swear a single time.
Im fairly content with its sturdiness, but it does shake a little if my daughter is being extra active in the bed. Could it be sturdier? Sure, but Im not concerned with its safety, and I hope this reinforces to my daughter not to use the bed like a big toy. The ladder is very stable and can be screwed in to the bed by the hooks. With just three steps, its very easy for my daughter to come and go.
It doesnt come with its own storage, but the low loft bed provides great storage underneath. 4 drawer cubbies easily fit under the loft, for example, and theres room for her toys and its a fun place to play. She really likes this, and I like that it helps provide a semblance of organized chaos to all her toys.
Im very happy with this purchase overall and the way it fits the room. The bed is a great value and good quality. I really like the gray. A few pieces had some imperfections (a dent or two in the wood, but very minor). Cant wait to paint the walls and get new decor up to give her the big kid room she wants and deserves.
Excellent value. My 5-year-old daughter loves it!
