Well made just what I was looking for! I am a 230lb 510 man, I have slept in this bed nightly for over 2yrs, I sleep well and the bed is 100. I assembled it myself, it is rather light/weight wood (pine?) and uses the current day cheap/O fasteners (some kind of bolt + threaded drum thing) but the fit of the joints was excellent, so I used P2000 construction adhesive on ALL joints except those allowing the bed to be separated into/two beds. I have even climbed into the top bunk with my 5yo son to read him bedtime stories dozens of times and it hasnt complained, not one squeak. I attribute the beds success to the adhesive. A full grown man could regularly use the top bunk but I would advise adding 1x6s between the included 1x3s. such use is at the limit of their strength when youre climbing/in. Mattress arrives rolled/up and is surprisingly comfortable.
Surprisingly sturdy
