We have 2 boys and I must say this bunk bed is very "manly" and they love it. The frame is rock-solid and doesn't wobble. This doesn't bring back old memories of creaky bunk beds from summer camps.
Thanks to everyone else who posted reviews and warned about getting the holes to face the right directions so that the ladder can be attached. I put everything together in 3 hours mostly by myself, with my wife helping from time to time to hold something up while I put a screw in.
Also like how you don't need box springs. Saved a ton of money and space. I like it so much I'm ordering another for our guest room. It's nice the beds can be put side-by-side rather than stacked, so you can easily adjust for couples or kid sleepovers.
We have 3 girls sharing a "smallish" bedroom. This loft bed made the best use of the space our girls have. Now the little girls have a play area hiding under the loft and our oldest has an area all to herself up away from the younger girls. Everybody seems happy and it really made the best use of a small area!
We have been looking for beds for months. This one is pretty good. It is a little unstable but once it is bolted to the wall it should be just fine. It is a whole lot better than the wood bunk beds we bought locally (They broke in the first week) That is why we went with metal. The construction is nice and thought out. I really like the free super saver shipping option. It fits fine in our house with normal 8 foot ceilings too.
We have had a few loft beds. I returned one and decided on this one. First is it way more sturdy than any other we have had i can even climb up no wiggles or sounds (130lbs.) The best is the large flat steps on the ladder our others had round steps and it is so painful just to climb up also the opening at the top of the ladder is a must! I think the support bar at the back is perfect height. Our last ones blocked the plugs in the wall. Lastly the square legs make a difference in the sturdiness too. 9 year old can sit up/ kneel no problem.. saves so much space in small rooms! Husband assembled it alone in 2 hours. Would have been easier with 2 people but doable for one.. Very happy with my purchase!
We have had this bed for about 8 months. It wasn't that hard to assemble, but it did take some time; there are a lot of individual pieces to put together. It is very sturdy.My kids climb up and down with no shaking or wobbling of the bed. The bookshelf is great as a space saver in a small bedroom. I haven't used the desk - I mainly chose this for the extra shelves. Im sure the desk is fine though. I knocked off one star because a little bit of the white paint is chipping off in some places and that is annoying. Overall though, it's a good bed - especially for the price.
We have had this bunk bed for a couple of months now. It is great for my girls. Very sturdy and pretty straight forward putting it together. I did use some tips that previous reviewers wrote about and saved a lot of time. Package arrived in great condition with no damaged pieces. Love that each bunk holds 250lbs.
We have had this bunk for about 6 months and I waited to post a review till we had time to see how the bunks hold up. At first it was great however today as I write this I am trying to decided what to do. The bed felt sturdy when being built but screws are falling out and the bed shakes. My biggest problem with the bunk bed is that the ladder is so difficult for a child with any weight to get up and down. It is definitely not made for a larger child. I will not be keeping the bed.
We have more room now. Was hard to put together, needex two people and took 2 plus hours. One screw on the second ladder won't go on so it has to be against a wall so they don't use it.
We have two girls (4 and 6) and they LOVE this bunk bed. It took me about 2 hours to assemble (maybe 3 since they were trying to "help". A few confusing areas of which side and which way but if you've done any IKEA building, its probably a bit more user friendly. The only slight issue i have is that the bars for the ladder are very thin. It hurts my feet to use them. As well as the whole bed shakes like crazy if I try to crawl up it. But, that's rare... just for making the straightening sheets and such. We don't store anything under there, at this point, but the kids tend to get everything from snacks to clothes, to stuffed animals under there very easily so, there is a decent storage space for short items.
My girls often use it to swing on and flip on (let's be honest... who hasn't!?) and other than being concerned for them falling, I have NO FEAR about the bed itself. I feel it is very sturdy for their ages!
We hunted and hunted for a loft bed for the right price in the right color at the right height (HAD to have room for a desk underneath, or what was the point, my child asked). We put this together all by ourselves and we were so proud, even though it took us hours. My fault for putting something on backward. Twice. <face palm>
My child loves having room underneath for the desk and chair plus a bookshelf and has such fun climbing up the ladder and being able to touch the ceiling from his bed.

Amazingly sturdy and very good-looking
