Decent loft bed, set it up good, except I miss read, that it only takes a double sized. I confused full size and my queen size mattress wont fit on top, so now I need to spend a few hundred more on a new mattress ffs
It took me 3 hours to put together having my 25 yr old son tighten the screws with purified Allen wrench. Only needed an extra set of hands to attach 2 pieces slats into bed. The quality of this bed is impressive, the color is true to description. Love how it looks! I purchased dark brown felt big strips cut them up to 2 x 1 to stick to the bottom of each leg (9) to protect my floor. Although there was 2 between bed and wall I decided to add self adhesive round felt, 1 1/2 to the four pieces that could possibly hit the wall. Feels and looks very durable! LOVE this bed for my son.
Took some time to put together but I guess that is OK because it is pretty sturdy. We wouldnt want the little one dying in a loft bed collapse like last time, would we?
Love the design and structural design. Easy to assemble but requires at least 2 people. Unfortunately it came with a bad weld (angle not squared) and took 4 calls to receive new piece. Took multiple weeks. Not great person service follow up
I have two grands that spend the night from time to time. I needed sturdy bunks. This set fit the bill. The 17 y.o put it together by herself in 3- 4 hours. As with the other reviews, this is a HEAVY box so you will need help. So get yourself asome muscles or borrow some. Follow instructions to the letter. I am very pleased with this purchase. Adult son (250 LBs) spent 2 nights last week. He slept like a baby.
I moved to a small efficiency apartment in NYC to be closer to my office. I need an office space in my apartment, but dont have the square footage. After looking at several photos of well-designed efficiency apartments, I saw several ideas that made sense to me. My building has plaster walls (and who knows whats back there), so I was limited to ideas that dont screw through the walls. I saw several photos online of loft bed designs that were similar to my decor goals.
Caveats for a lofted bed no matter the model
1) You are going to be at least 5 feed above the floor. This isnt a trivial height. It requires using either the built in ladders or a separate stand alone ladder to get into bed at night. If youre on medications, or go out for a night on the town, BE CAREFUL.
2) Make sure you have the head space for the bed first. If your ceilings are low, this is the WRONG choice for you. Banging your head or hand in the ceiling is not a good way to relax before going to sleep.
However, if you have the right kind of space, this is an absolutely awesome, stylish choice for an apartment.
The Abode Full-Size Loft Bed comes with a desk and two built in ladders. The box is HEAVY. So, delivery through was awesome! (Someone else had to haul it up 3 flights.) The bed and desk comes in a pretty tightly packed box, so it fits up old, pre-war stairways or in elevators.
The bed comes with a full set of instructions. I highly recommend reading all the instructions before starting the assembly process. Careful planning on the assembly greatly helped make this process easier than many flat pack assemblies. I recommend using your own tools if you can. While the bed comes with a small wrench, etc., I recommend investing in a small assembly toolkit - you and your hands will thank you.
After assembling the bed, I was able to install the desk and two shelves. Be careful not to over-tighten the screws. The screws are exactly the right length. Any more, and youll push through the surface!
What I like
- Clear Instructions with the fasteners grouped for pre-assembly planning
- Metal frame is solid but not crazy heavy.
- Unique mattress box-spring idea using dozens of metal rods (very clever)
What I dont like
- The ladders are very narrow - somewhat of a nuisance to get up and down if youre older than 10. I bought a separate black stand-alone ladder to use. It does have 2 built in ladders (one on the side and one at the foot) that are part of the supporting frame.
- No adjustments for the top mattress rails. Youre stuck with the height it comes in. Not a big issue if youre aware of it up front.

Does not fit QUEEN size mattress
Decent loft bed, set it up good, except I miss read, that it only takes a double sized. I confused full size and my queen size mattress wont fit on top, so now I need to spend a few hundred more on a new mattress ffs
Amazing quality, doesnt shake as much as some reviews stated.

Attractive bunk beds suitable only for small sized children
Looks great! Not as sturdy - cannot sleep adults, only children, due to inability to accommodate heavy weight
... but I guess that is OK because it is pretty sturdy. We wouldnt want the little one dying ...

Sturdy and functional

Very easy to assemble
Very easy to assemble, paints off, minor scratches all over it and doesnt feel too sturdy. Otherwise its very good value for the price.
Just what I was looking for!

Make sure you have the head room for it!
Is a great room saver for my daughter and she is thrilled with it.
Kid again!
I LOVE my loft bed which allows me to have room for a cat condo under it for rescue purposes.
Great for those small high-ceiling NYC apartments!
