Lets start from the beginning. Took about a week and a half from the time I ordered this bed to it being delivered. The box was hella heavy guys. Not even kidding. The spouse and I were struggling to get this up the stairs. Wound up cutting the box open and moving the pieces a few at a time. They were all intact with no damage.
The item itself is pretty good for the price we paid. I do have some issues. We bought the white version and the paint is very thin. I think it was just quickly airbrushed, and not very evenly overall. I already had an incident where the ladder got knocked as I was putting it on, and the paint scrapped clear off a part of the upper frame where it sits. I can tell touching up the paint is going to become a thing.
Also the directions are not the best. If youve ever assemble furniture, theyre on par, but perhaps slightly worse as none of the hardware is labeled and youre gonna spend half the time trying to figure out if youve got the right screws. I think I spent an hour just looking back and forth between the screws part list and the current instructions.
Overall, took me about 4 hours by myself, and my kid is ecstatic.
Got this for my son for his birthday! He now has a big boy bed and more room for activities! Perfect for imizing space in a small room. Also doubles as the base for some pretty cool forts. Great buy!
This bed seems sturdy and the clay color is really nice. My only complaint is that the area under the bed isnt high enough for my 12 year old son to stand up in. It works fine if hes sitting at the desk, but he cant walk under it. I realize this is our mistake...the dimensions are there, and I obviously didnt double check. But between the name of the bed being high loft and it being rated to 400 lbs., we made the mistake of assuming (yeah, yeah I know the saying...) that it would be taller than it actually is. We had hoped to use this bed through his high school years, but Im thinking he will be passing it down to his younger brother in just a couple of years (or growth spurts). Kind of a bummer because he was so excited...took a little bit of the wind out of his sails once we realized how short it was. (And hes not a tall kid...just in general.)
the hardest step in assembling this bed was those smaller thin pieces of wood that slide into each end. Between myself and my stepfather, it took SO many tries to get them all to stay at once. they are not secure and wiggle. when you think you have all the slots in, you dont. Anyway, it was pretty funny and we figured it out eventually, but the wooden screws or whatever you call them are too loose for the hole and THAT was also a problem with them falling out over and over. Other than that, two thumbs up!
Its super cute and came packaged so it wouldnt get messed up!! Big plus the way they protected it for shipping!! It still moves quite a bit so I just wish there was two more support bars somewhere to keep it from moving around because it wakes my daughter up when she rolls over
I wanted to imize the space in my room, and boy am I happy with this purchase in regard to that! To make it safer, I recommend buying pool noodles and covering those harsh edges because I guarantee you will bump your head into it at some point. They can also be useful for the ladder, since nobody climbs this with shoes. I am a little over the weight limit (not by too much!) so it is a bit shaky when climbing up, but nothing worrisome. Otherwise, its very sturdy and exactly what I needed.

Amazing!!
So cute and perfect. Easy to put together but a little wobbly.
Takes about 2 hours to assemble
Easy to assemble.
Ups and downs.

Just ok
The boards for the shelves came damaged. We got this for the phase my daughter is in now. Would not be good quality enough to last her for a decade.
Great Bed, Very sturdy.
Got this bed for my daughter, and she loves it. Very easy to setup and lots of extra room now.
Perfect for little kids!

Under Bed Area is shorter than you might expect

Sturdy if you stay within the weight limit!
