Wobbles a bit but seems pretty sturdy. Installation would be really easy for 2 people but a little hard for 1. Might bolt to the wall to keep wobble down!
Serves its purpose well as a loft and as a study space. It took two people a little over two hours to assemble, you definitely need two sets of hands for the job if you dont want the big parts to get unweildy, three people would make the process really hum along. Make sure to leave the screws only partially tightened until all the parts are in place, otherwise youll have a difficult time getting the last few parts to fit.
Its about par for the course as far as bunks/lofts go, it doesnt creak at all, and its certainly not unstable, but it definitely shakes a bit as you climb the ladder. Side to side movement isnt too bad (i.e. if youre rolling over or coming up the side ladder), back and forth movement is more noticeable (i.e. if youre coming up the end ladder). Wooden lofts are sturdier and have a higher weight capacity, but theyre much more pricey. This loft is perfect for the price range.
The flat ladder are nicer than rounded steps, but they can still be uncomfortable with bare feet and slippery with socks on. I do wish the guardrails were a little higher so you could fit a 10 mattress and have more than a stubby 2 of rail.
The desk space is functional, the corkboard/backed bulletin board is also a nice feature. I can fit a monitor and compact keyboard on there comfortably.
Overall theres not a better loft at this price.
Long and heavy box, a little difficult getting up and down with ladder, shakes a little but firm. Does what you want it to do and gives you the room you want.
I originally purchased 3 in 1 furniture for my kids as babies and 10 years later they have gotten to the point that they need enough space in their standard size 120 square foot room for a full size bed, dresser, bookshelf, and desk. I was considering building a custom loft to fit a full size bed (thats the final bed size for the 3 in 1 furniture), but once I saw this design I knew that there was no way that I could build a custom unit with a built in shelf/desk for less than I could purchase this. The instructions are the easiest to follow that I have come across with these assembly required kits and everything was easy to identify and well packaged in one 150 lb. box. Assembly time for one individual takes about 3 hours from opening the box to putting the mattress on the loft.
If you have a ceiling light/fan in the room where you are placing the loft, be aware of clearance issues with the light/fan and loft occupants when it is placed in its final location since this will only be 2 from the ceiling on a standard 8 wall height.
This bed was intended for my 10 year old daughter as a graduation present. She loves the loft bed but it worries me how wobbly this thing is. I will call the manufacturer for suggestions on how to make the bed more secure.
Not sure what the Chinese word for grey is, but Im sure its not the same as . I blame the translator but this is a bunk that will generate nostalgia in anyone that served. Its grey and it squeaks like the guy next to you in basic training. Its cheap and hasnt collapsed yet but the description isnt terribly accurate. Lack of configurable ladders is another pain.
I absolutely LOVE this bed. So does my son. It is so durable. Hes a long/legged beefy kid. This bed doesnt move or get creaky at ALL. It is solid. Only complaint is that the ladder isnt angled. It would make it much easier to climb. I wouldnt even call it a complaint though. This was such a great purchase.

Just right

Good basic loft

High quality, good construction, great design.
Really really really solid and great quality. Very happy. I now have more room, yae!
Great way to add usable floor space to a kids bedroom while providing a work area too!

Very very very wobbly !!!!!!

Cool bed for a tween
Awesome bed. It allowed us to better utilize a smaller bedroom for my son. He loves the loft, and enjoys his hangout space below.
Almost worth the price.
