I'm an 18 years old college and I weigh about 210 pounds (give or take a few). This bed is very sturdy and holds me, my mattress, and a ton of blankets, pillows, and a giant teddy bear. I'm definitely lose to the weight limit, but I've never had to be afraid of this bed because it's extremely sturdy. Of course every once in a while when you move you feel it shake a bit, but that's completely normal and barely noticeable. The railings are at a good height (and I got a slightly thicker mattress as well).
My one and only complaint is the ladder. This ladder is so unbelievably uncomfortable and painful that I was using a step ladder for a while. Eventually my dad and I came up with a solution (well, he did anyway lol). He built me my own little staircase out of wood which made my bed much easier to get into (and doesn't kill my feet!). If you are using the ladder, keep a pair of shoes by the bed to use for when you climb up and down so you don't hurt your feet!
Great buy!!!
