Super happy with this loft. We shopped around for a LONG TIME before settling on this loft for our 11/year/old daughter. We bought it to make space in her bedroom for a new desk, which fits under it perfectly. Its a very basic loft (no drawers or shelving like many high/end lofts), but its also very sturdy. Assembly is required /Not difficult, but better with two people. We made sure all bolts, etc., were good and tight while assembling. The loft hardly moves/shifts while our daughter is climbing in and out of it, and it doesnt squeak at all. Its high enough that our daughter can sit down at her desk with ease, but my husband and I have to keep our heads ducked to walk under it (Im 57). Its also low enough that our daughter can sit up in bed without hitting her head on the ceiling. We got a memory foam mattress for the bed since the mattress on the old bed was too heavy and thick / This loft is definitely NOT for pillowtop or thick mattresses. Our daughter likes the memory foam mattress, though / She says its actually more comfortable than her old bed. The only drawback we notice in the lofts design is that the ladder is rather narrow. However, our daughter can still move up and down it with ease.
This loft is also very heavy and the box it comes in is very long. We were able to carry it into the house from where it was delivered (on our front porch), but it was a bit of a struggle. The box was definitely heavier than our sofa, and too big/long for our hand truck to handle. If at all possible, try to have the box delivered/brought into the room where you want the loft to be. It will save you a lot of trouble. Lovely for the price
At last! A nice, sturdy kids loft.
