I was a little scared getting this bed. It's designed for children but I'm an adult and on the heavy side (215lbs). I really needed the space and the place I chose wouldn't accommodate a full loft bed so I took a chance. I was very surprised. I assembled the bed myself in a few hours. There were a few mistakes because I wasn't paying attention. Lay out the parts and hardware of each section before you put it together and it will save a lot of time and grief. The bed is very sturdy even though it does wobble a bit. But I grew up on bunk beds. Unless they were made of thick wood or steel, they all wobled. If it's worrisome it does have a bracket to secure it to the wall. You'll have to provide the rest of the hardware to do that. Making the bed does take some ingenuity so I suggest keeping it simple. Rolling blankets and decorative pillows go a long way. The only thing I work with is the sheets and the bed spread. The closer they fit the mattress the better.
I almost forgot about the ladder. If you're over 3ft tall it might be a bit much. The spacing is a bit small and bars can cause discomfort for those on the heavier end of the scale, but it is definitely doable. A few tweaks and there's no issue at all. But I'm lazy and decided to go the step ladder route. It makes it easier to make the bed and I can place the ladder anywhere I need it. I have ladder where the highest step measures three feet. It's ok for me at 5'8". It still takes a little acrobatics to get over the top railing so I'm going to find a ladder where the top step is four feet.
Happy It worked
