I am so pleased with this purchase. We bought it locally instead of online, but I was so happy with this Camflexi Full High Loft Bed, that I had to leave a review.
I can not speak about installation because the hubby and father-in-law put it together, but I dont think it gave them too much trouble. They did add extra screws for more stability. They ran gaffers tape along the top of the slats to cover the screw heads so they did not catch on the mattress. We also added brackets to secure it to the wall. Before that, this thing swayed like a skyscraper in a windstorm. Now its very sturdy and I am comfortable crawling up there.
The only thing I do not like, is that the slats underneath are not finished wood. So when you crawl under it, you see the light wood color that really stands out against the dark brown wood. I covered it with something, but I pushed it back for the photo so you can see what I am talking about.
Now for everything I love about this bed. We are still getting the room set up, but right now my 8 year old and 10 year old are sleeping up there together. They stay up way too late talking and watching videos, but it is definitely sturdy enough for both of them.
We bought an appropriate sized memory foam mattress that worked great and the bed is comfy and cozy.
It is tall enough to have a nice space underneath, although my 10 year old does have to bend down to go in. We have 8 ceilings on that floor, and there is still room for me to sit up without bumping my head.
I also love that the ladder can be put on either side.
This is a bed that will last for a long time to come. I see a future gaming center underneath for a teen.
Now things to consider with this tall bed: You will need a bedside caddy to store water bottles and whatnot since a nightstand wont cut it. We had to buy an air vent diverter so the HVAC wont blow straight down on the kids. We also had to buy a lower profile light so they had more clearance when crawling up there.
Overall - VERY HAPPY!
