Its very important to weigh the pros and cons before buying this bed
I split time between cities in two separate condos. Space is extremely important in the smaller one. So, I got the idea in my head of buying a loft bed.
Putting this loft bed together is no walk in the park. This is ideally a 2/3 person job. I ended up putting it together alone and it took me nearly 4 hours to complete.
When youre putting this together, as other reviews have stated, do NOT fully tighten any of the bolts right away. This entire frame is a hair off, which makes fitting some pieces, extremely hard.
Once this is put together, its both sturdy and not at the same time. For one person, its fine. Its going to creak and flex, but it wont move much. However, if you ever plan to have two people in it, you had better not be moving much because it will absolutely sway.
The ladder will kill your feet. Order or have pool noodles on hand. Trust me on this.
Overall, look, its a budget loft bed so expectations need to be tempered. Youre getting a lot of material for the cost of this bed. So, given the cost and materials, theres going to be trade/offs.
Would I buy this again? No, I wouldnt. However, as I typed that I have to admit I still like a lot about it and its fun to sleep so high up.
In the end, if you buy this, expect the following:
1. It will creak.
2. It will sway a bit.
3. You will need to check the bolts occasionally.
4. This is not going to be a several year bed; the materials are just too light and somewhat flimsy.
5. Expect the bed to shift around a bit as you move around.
6. If your ceilings are under 9 foot tall, dont buy this if youre at all claustrophobic.
7. Get pool noodles for the stairs.
8. Its will seem far bigger than the measurements.
9. Making the bed is time consuming so dont waste your time trying, more than 1/2 times as week.
10. This can support 300 pounds, but its going to let you know about those 300 pounds.
If you have the right expectations for this, having a loft is really neat. However, Id suggest you really put some thought into it before going down this road.
This loft is absolutely worth the cost for what you get, but what you get falls short of ideal.
In the end, there are better options if youre willing to expand your search outside of budget options.

Cheers! Not so bad.
