Nice bed for the price. We liked it for the extra storage under the bed. Only issue I had was that one of them drawers didnt site flush with the bed besides that perfect Value for money.
Update at the bottom
I put this bed up last weekend for my 8 year old. I highly suggest for anyone who purchases this to leave it where the delivery person has dropped the boxes and just take it piece by piece to the room where its going to be put together. It comes in three (very heavy) numbered boxes and you should assemble box 1 before moving to box 2 and box 3. It took me roughly 10 hours to put together by myself. I did need a drill as there were no predrilled holes for the ladder and I also had to buy new drawer slides for the desk drawer as one broke. I also found the instructions kind of difficult as none of the screws and bolts are labled in packaging and the assembly diagrams also caused some confusion. That was probably the most frustrating part of the assembly.
Now, on to the pros and cons of this bed.
Pros/there is actually a lot of storage. The dresser drawers are bigger than I expected. The sliding desk draw is an added plus. The open shelf and the bookshelf on the opposite side are awesome. My biggest worry when purchasing this bed was that there wouldnt be enough storage and I was surpringly wrong. We couldnt even fill all of the storage areas. My daughter absolutely loves the bed and loves the hiding area underneath. I also didnt realize it came with an LED strip light, but she enjoys using it when she is camping out underneath the bed. The bed area is also really deep compared to other loft and bunk bed we have had. We have a 6 in. spring mattress now, but the bed can definitely accommodate a thicker mattress safely. The hiding area underneath is pretty spacious for a child too.
Cons/ as I said previously, the sliding hardware for the desk drawer broke while I was assembling it and had to go to the hardware store for replacements. The hardware that comes has a mechanism that locks the drawer, so it stays in place when it is out. Thats great in theory, but since even I had trouble with it (and it ultimately broke) I can imagine it would be even more difficult for a child to figure out. The backing for the dresser and wardrobe is foldable cardboard that you have to nail down, which is my least favorite thing about the loft bed. I think it is still pretty flimsy, even with all the nails in. The storage cube area next to the desk is also too small for the standard sized baskets that you find in store. It wasnt a huge deal, but it made finding two extra baskets a bit more difficult. There was also a small amount of damage on different pieces of the bed, but most of it ended up being hidden away with assembly. I did not expect it to be 100 damage free given how big and heavy the boxes were.
Although there is a lot of things that I love about this loft bed, I still question if it is worth the price we paid. I dont think I can answer that only a week later, so I will say that its a solid 4 stars for now.
Update
As expected, the cardboard panelling behind the dresser and wardrobe lasted maybe a month. Were replacing it with a sturdy piece of panelling from the hardware store. Daughter has lost a couple of books, toys, and socks in her bed as theyve fallen between the mattress and side walls. I kind of hate how deep the bed area is for that reason and its a PITA to change bed sheets.
The bed as a whole is still together and holding up. Kids love it easy to put together.
Arrived in 3 MASSIVELY HEAVY BOXES. Each box had to weigh AT LEAST 200 pounds. Ok so heres the thing/ if youre a single mom like me, dont be afraid to buy this in fear if not being able to put it together by yourself or carry the ridiculously heavy boxes in. You can do this by yourself, and its actually an incredibly rewarding experience at the end when you are all done. Its like a mini ego boost, to do something of this magnitude, without the help of anyone. Heres the way I did this, and I hope this helps someone else!
1: dont try to lift these boxes/ they are stupid heavy. Look at the labels on each box ( box 1,2,3) Open JUST Box 1 / do not touch the other boxes.
2: Take all the pieces out of box one and set the pieces up in the room that the bed will be built in. Make sure you have enough free space to do 3 cartwheels and 5 somersaults. Seriously, you will need a ton of free space maneuver yourself and your project without hitting walls.
3: MOST IMPORTANT STEP! Take your directions out and all of your screws, bolts, ect. Grab 10/15 bowls from the kitchen and some craft tape or self stick labels you can write on. Separate every single group of nuts and bolts and screws, and place them in each bowl along the wall. Number each bowl with your tape, by writing the actual number that correlates with that particular screw. For instance, screw 108, bolt 654, ect. The numbers of each group are in your directions. This hack will save you so much time and you will be happy you did this once you see the amount of work involved with your project. There arent ANY extra pieces, so dont lose any!! If you have a big kid who can read numbers, you can ask them for help while youre putting the monstrosity together. Jonny, plz hand me 5 of those things in bowl 653 OH, and one more thing; DONT TRY TO USE JUST A SCREWDRIVER! The directions say not to use a drill, but I did and Im pretty sure I saved myself 6 hours by doing so. Your arm will fall off if you try to use handpower for this thing. Just be careful with your cordless low power drill and dont go too fast or hard on the screws. Slow and steady with it.
4: After youve separated all your nuts and bolts and screws, you now have to separate your boards into the groups that go into. It will be in your directions on that first box 1 page. This is easy and will save you time as well.
5. Follow each direction step by step, and once youve completed Box one, then move on to box 2. At this point, you need to place what youve constructed into the EXACT location its going to stay. You CANNOT MOVE THIS BED ONCE ITS PUT TOGETHER!!
6: Since youve already separated all your nuts and bolts from box one, thats it for those. Theres no more in the other boxes. You just need to group together the Boards in the groups they will be built into. Its smooth sailing as long as you follow your directions (and mine lol!)
7: You will get to Box 3, and want to quit. Dont. Its not as bad as it seems.
Total project time for me; one person/ 10 hours/2 days of work. Good luck!! I hope this helps someone out there!!! If you do this the right way, it will be easy peasy lemon squeeze! Easy assembly.
