Ideal for celibate monks and maybe 13 year olds, not so much for couples with any coital desires
I decided to purchase this freestanding loft frame because I am renting a tiny New York City apartment (aka closet) and would like a small desk underneath this to be a productive human being. Upon reading rave reviews that the Full Loft Bed was easy to put together and was very sturdy, I decided to purchase this. No doubt, this was definitely a pricey purchase at 219.07 USD. I opted to split this into monthly payments given the steep price, adding these installments to my crippling monthly college debt payments.
I am a small and short (but strong!) woman, who believes in when there is a will, theres a way. I alone put together this bed in about 5 hours. I highly recommend grabbing another person who owes you favors because it was not easy. 0/10 would not recommend the complex, highly SPECIFIC assembly process for one poor human to suffer through alone. Like many others who have mentioned the pieces dont exactly fit together, and youll have to loosen past joints to fit your next few. Also, do NOT be an idiot and assume that G and H are interchangeable, because they arent. Also dont assume that E and F are interchangeable, because they arent. Assembly requires coffee, a non/hungover state of being, and a well/fed belly. Otherwise, you may be tired, frustrated, and hangry, first at the half/put together loft bed, and then at whose reviews listed such POSITIVE qualities! Looking around at the utter disaster, you couldnt find ANY positive qualities present.
For a bed that is 219 and some, shouldnt assembly be a piece of cake? After finally assembling this demanding bedframe, placing it where I wanted, cleaning up the mess that this bedframe put my room in, I finally hauled the mattress over the edge of frame (yes, also alone, I am proud of myself) and started putting my bedsheets back on.
And holy moly, this bed is NOT AT ALL STABLE! Any lateral movements on the bed generated loud creaks and a concerning wobble. My partner and I attempted to have intercourse on this loft bed and both of us lost our excitement for each other as our concern for our safety grew. We decided to head back to his place with a bottle of wine and relief that his bed was much closer to the floor and our lives would not be in jeopardy during vigorous adult activities.
Overall, not super thrilled with this bed. You can probably put together a much stronger, sturdier, cheaper loft bed from a DIY template. I thought about all the modifications I could make, ie. drilling the posts to a stud, replacing the ladder, or whatever. I dont know if its worth it since I will probably sell it on craigslist within the next couple of months after I finally get sick and tired with all the faults in s loft bed, or when I move out of NYCs housing crisis. Whichever one comes first.
