This is an absolutely amazing piece of furniture! Five stars. More on the loft later. -1 star for the ripoff price from this reseller, which will probably just ship it to you direct from Wal Mart, and pocket the $180 difference.
The exact same loft from the exact same manufacturer can be bought for almost half the price at s. Plus, ordering from s website is painless.
This loft is just amazing though. The packaging alone was a work of engineering art to behold. Assembly was astonishingly easy (and - dare I say - fun) for such a large, complicated-looking piece of furniture. It took me and my kids 1.5 hours from start to finish, and most of that was unpacking. The thing is made of boxed aluminum, so it is very light to work with.
It is very sturdy too. There is a little wobble while ascending the stairs (according to my 200 lbs testing), but that is to be expected. Absolutely zero squeaking so far. The sturdiness is really amazing considering how relatively small and light the shipping package was. (Its not small or light in absolute terms - 150 lbs - but considering what the thing becomes once assembled, it is pretty amazing how relatively small and light the package is. Youll never get another piece of furniture this big, in a package that small and light. Heck, just a small cheap dresser made of particle board, that I bought at the same time, was heavier! In fact, the heaviest part of this by far is the composite particle board desk. Without that, this thing would be positively lightweight.)
But paying $430 is practically throwing your money away. Ive seen these lofts listed on from it seems a dozen different resellers just over a few weeks - the listings come and go. From random resellers, that I swear must be fly-by-night operations that also come and go. Probably rooted out by for scams like this crazy price. If you buy it from these guys, they will probably just order it from and drop ship it directly from to you. And pocket a cool $180 just for filling out an order form on s website. At least, that was my experience when I bought this same thing on a few weeks ago, which was fulfilled by TJS Networks. That business is (or was) a total scam. They sent the wrong loft (shipped from Wal Mart of course), then horribly bungled the return. It cost me a lot of time and aggravation. I finally just ordered the correct loft straight from . Inexpensive and hassle-free.
Simply amazing loft. Buy it at Wal Mart for $250.
