Great product, just need to mount to wall for stability
Im a 180lb college student living in a tiny apartment and wanted a loft bed to make the most of the space. Im also on a limited budget, so I was reluctant to purchase a seemingly flimsy metal loft bed that looks like its for kids. I read tons of reviews for different products, but ultimately decided to give this one a shot. Im glad I did. The base product is good and holds my weight fine. However, it is absolutely necessary to mount this bed (and others like it I imagine) to the wall using some sort of metal bracket. I went to a nearby hardware store and got crafty with it. You can drill extra holes into the metal and the screws bit just fine. Just make sure not to over tighten or theyll strip. The bed is very wobbly on its own, but one mounted to the wall in just 3 spots it really is suprisingly solid and stable.
