Ive had this product for about a year. I think its a great loft bed for what youre paying.
I put it together myself, and you have to lean some parts against something to attach other parts but its doable. Easier with two people but doable.
IMPORTANT: Save the assembly instructions because for the most part they have you put it together in the easiest order as possible.
Otherwise, if you ever have to disassemble it, youll be looking at it and wondering how to reassemble it again and thinking.duh.
You probably can down load the instructions from the manufacturers website, but still, why hassle with that if you dont have to?
I compared the structural way it was built with other loft beds on ; the placement of the cross pieces and such, and I think they used the least amount of material while making it structurally sound so as to keep the cost down.
It shakes slightly when climbing up/down the ladder and squeaks a little but its solidly built. However, I didnt attach it to the wall (and I cant remember if they supplied hardware to do so), so its free standing but still very sturdy. Theres a lot of metal beams in this building and I didnt want to mess with it.
Some comments are about some shaking.
If people want something that is absolutely squeak and shake/free youd have to use gauge steel like the heavy duty metal stocking shelves in Home Depot.
Itd cost hundreds of dollars then.
My friend occasionally climbs on while Im on it. The combined weight is about 260 lbs. Theres no sign of it collapsing or tilting.
I have it set up in the living room of my apartment with a computer desk underneath it and it blends in nicely. Very cool.
Its airy open build and black finish doesnt give the living room a cramped closed in feel.
Its a guest bed but Ive been sleeping in it for about a year since Im helping my friend get it together and shes in the bedroom. Ive slept very deeply on it. I bought the mattress and padding on too. Its very comfortable; I sleep so soundly.
One main vertical beam was dented which I didnt notice until it was assembled. They had me take a photo and and they quickly sent out another one.
The only thing Id say is the ladder rungs dig into the feet and feel uncomfortable but Ive used that water pipe insulation foam that wrap around water pipes and its very comfortable; however, after a while the foam splits apart and you have to replace it. I have to figure something out. But really, this is no big deal in the overal picture.
I think all around its a great value and you wont be disappointed.
Great Value and Quality
