My son wanted a wolf theme in his room so we decided to do a makeover for his birthday. I purchased this bed because he already had a full sized bed. The loft idea is really great for saving space and it looks so clean. The box is heavy, and I mean heavy, so dont pick this up without help. Once we emptied all the parts, it was pretty straight forward to put together. My husband and I put it together with a few hiccups but nothing major. After assembled, both of us climbed up and sat on it. No wobbling or anything. So clearly our 8 year old would be stable. The ladder goes straight up without an angle. At first this concerned me but the ladder is really easy to climb, stable and gives the bed an elegant finish, which I love. Under the bed is big enough for cubbies and makes a cozy little area that he can hang out and play. His older brother has slept under there a couple of nights. I wanted the gray finish at first but it would have taken twice as long to arrive. Decided on and it is lovely. Im sure my son will enjoy his new room and bed well into his teens. If you are wondering about the under 300 price point being a cheap quality, dont. This bed is awesome and well made. Im considering buying another one for our older son. To make this bed even more of an absolute dream, use a duvet cover with a goose feather comforter and it will feel just like a cloud.
Sturdy and great quality
