I promised my son a couple of years ago, that as soon as we bought a house I would buy him this bed. Well, I finally bought a house so I had to live up to my promise. I was hoping it would have went down in price but it seemed even more expensive then I remembered. Bought it anyways and when I received it was not thrilled with the prospect of putting it together by myself.
The bed/box is really heavy. I ended up having no choice but to take the pieces of it out, while it was still on my porch. There is what seems like a million pieces, though the company is quite thoughtful and gives you spare pieces (this was really nice). I did have to go get some washers and nuts from Lowes because the ones they give you really didnt work so well for putting the back piece on by the area.
I was able to put it together all by myself, though it would be a lot easier if you had some help. The ladder part for your feet is absolutely awful and would be so much better if it were flat instead of round. Did what others have done (knew beforehand because of reviews) and used a pool noodle for the steps. Will figure out something different later on down the line. I also dont like how the bed somewhat moves (which I understand why it does and why it needs to), I would just feel more comfortable if it didnt.
Saves space and looks nice.
