This loft bed is exactly what I needed for my daughters room. For the price, its a great product. I assembled it on my own, and Im a mom with no particular superhuman strength. Yes, it required some heft and some mildly precarious moments, but it was completely doable. There were pieces where I had to really fiddle and balance to get everything lined up, but there was nothing that just wouldnt line up, which I find to be a common problem with less expensive furniture. So I was happy to not have that issue. In terms of sturdiness, I tightened everything tight enough to not have it strip, but it still wobbles the tiniest bit. I feel confident in its sturdiness though. It looks great in the room as well.
My only complaints- the side rail could be a little higher. I think it recommends using a fairly thin mattress, but ours is average size and it doesnt leave much of a rail. My daughter is 9, so I think its fine. I wouldnt recommend this for a young child though, or one that flops around a lot in their sleep. The ladder is fine for a kid, but very narrow. Even as a relatively slim person, I found it hard to get up and down when setting up her bed. I guess that just means she has to change her own sheets now!! Beautiful Addition to My Home
Good buy for the price, for older kids
