I live in a studio apartment and I work from home; a loft bed is perfect for me, and this isnt my first one, Unfortunately, I think I could have done better.but for the price, probably not! (for what its worth, definitely look elsewhere for this, you can get it cheaper!) Im short, but my regular/sized task chair fits well in here, and I have about a foot of clearance. The triangle shelves feel a bit cheap, but they hold my big printer/scanner just fine. I do miss not having somewhere to stick stuff when Im sleeping, like glasses or my phone, but thats just a readjustment I had to make; another reviewer mentioned some command strip baskets, which is a great idea. My cats can get up and down from it easily, since I pushed the cat tree right up against one of the ladders that Im not using. And I like the position of the desk, so I could still fit an armchair under here if I wanted to.
My main gripe. It wobbles. Ive had this thing for.about three weeks now. It hasnt crashed under me. But it wobbles. When I come up the ladder, when I roll over, its just this kind of.nervous moment every time. Id like more reinforcement along the sides without ladders. And even though I live in a small space, the completely vertical ladder is a bit of a pain.but worse is the small gap they give you to climb down. The only way I can do it is to get on my hands and knees, align just right with the ladder, turn around, and go down blind.
If you have a small space and need a cheap loft, especially if you have some friends who are crafty with metal and can help you add more reinforcement. Absolutely go for this thing. But Ill be saving my pennies for a wooden one next time. I have to say Im pretty disappointed so far.
You get what you pay for.
