This was a product I thought would work well. It looks great and what I needed but unfortunately it didnt turn out as great as I thought. When it arrived I took it out of the box, carefully as to not scratch the paint. I set all piece on the carpet and began the construction. For one person I would not recommend because youll have to flit the side up after constructing the pieces. After getting a hand with the lifted side I continued to assemble. It went fairly well for myself. I stated it about 1pm after lunch and finished it around 10pm: long breaks included. The only delay was knowing what parts go to the joining pieces. Some of the labor stickers with the letters were rubbed off the wood. So I had to take it apart when I learned it wasnt the right piece. Thats neither here not there. What made me return it was the fractured wood pieces that split when I screwed in the bolts to fasten them together. It could have been a bad piece but it was part of the safety railing to prevent the child from falling over. That was a concern for me. I didnt want my niece to become injured from that. The entire loft bed seemed secure for a child but I know sometimes shes want to rest with her mom in the bed with her. That didnt seem as secure for both of them. The image to me seemed as if it could hand 180 of wight combine with my niece and sister in law. The broken split wood railing changed my mind. I ended up getting something closer to the ground for both of them. In the end Im sad that it didnt turn out as I wanted but the bed was ok in all. Maybe with a stronger wood it could work.
