For what I paid for this I wish they were less wobbly. We bought two of them. They have a pretty high weight limit compared to other loft beds (500 pounds I think?) and as we are trying to fit 3 kids in 2 bedrooms I was hoping these would hold out until they were teenagers. I bought the optional desks. The desks definitely makes the beds sturdier but they still wobbles if I try to go up there to change their bedding. Also, one of the ladder rungs cracked when I stepped on it and now it moves if I step on it. For reference I'm about 165 pounds... I avoid stepping on it now. It's fine for my 40 pound daughter... for now. The side rail is also floppy and moves back and forth. I also wish the ladder didn't stick out so far and was flush with the bed to reduce the foot print. If you have hardwood , make sure you put those furniture pads on the ladder legs, because the ladder will lift up and down and without a protective buffer will wear into your floors like it did for us. Overall, I wish I had gotten bunks. The kids do really like their lofts, but when they're 15/16 years old I am worried I'll have to replace them. Between the mattresses, beds and desks, I think I paid like $1500 for this setup, and it's not the highest quality.
Cute but could be more durable
