Pics of the boxes that many people are curious about.
Box Packaging:
There are 2 and approx 6X6X7
Box 1 is very heavy and does require 2 people to move up stairs (also contains the manual)
Box 2 is lighter and can be moved by 1 person but still quite a feat
Each piece was wrapped in plastic, with some foam and cardboard to prevent movement and such. Came well packed and minimal box damage and no damage to the frame. The hard part is having to breakdown the all cardboard for the recycle bin.
Putting it together:
I didnt have a hard time putting it together, took 4 hours but only because I was a moron and didnt pay attention to the front/back stickers and got the screws mixed up. If it wasnt for my own errors I probably could have done it in under 3 hours, faster if you have a power tool to accomidate the bit type.
Since I was doing this solo I put the first 3 pieces together on the frames side then propped it upright and finished up. I found the keyboard hardware the most frustrating part. Instructions are very basic and I could see how some folks find them not user friendly as some of the repeating steps are not listed out and you have to assume where some bolts go based on the pattern. Compared to other DIY furniture Ive purchased from target and such this was fairly easy with the exception of the size and weight.
It is possible to overscrew the bolts and damage the frame so be cautious with this.
Once I get a feel for the overall product I will give further reviews but seems like a solid piece.
My son loves it. The first one arrived damaged and customer service was great. They replaced the entire shipment without difficulty. This will be a challenge to put together by yourself, but if you have help it will be rather easy. The space underneath is larger than I expected and my son does his homework every night there. He also, will sit under there and read. This allowed for a lot more space in his room than he would have had without lofting the bed. It is quite sturdy. I was concerned that it might be a little flimsy but that is not the case at all. Very durable.
Came in perfect condition though the box had some damage to the outside. Put together easily but a lot of the screws refused to go in easily. Each turn was an ordeal. Other than that it was easy. Really solid once its together. Doesnt feel loose or shake too much climbing or moving around. No more than any other bed.
Shipping was right on time. Followed directions and went together without an issue with myself and my teenage son. Lights under the bed were added as the room light does not provide enough and this is working well for doing homework.
Just put it up and together this past week. So far my daughter is just loving it!! Not only is it a great bed but it gives that extra space underneath that is just great!! It creates a little cave/office!
Really great loft bed! The package came damaged and the table corner edge was scratched up a bit, and the front rail was not even, so it didnt score in completely. But overall, the bed is terrific. Very solid, heavy and stable. The ladder hurts the feet so will wrap it up to make it more comfy for my ten year old son. Lots of room beneath, put two chairs on the desk so he can have a friend play video games or be on the computer with him. The seller is amazing and kept in communication. The delivery company was a bit difficult to connect with but once I did delivery was on time. The manufacturer website, er, shows this bed can hold up to 400 lbs. My son will definitely grow into his teen years with this. We put in a memory foam bed 8.
