This Maxwell Metal Twin Loft Bed/Desk combo is a great concept. I like the conservation of space that this provides with the bed being on top and having the desk below. There a few things to keep in mind with this product though.
First off, It is big and very heavy. You will not be able to even carry the package without at least two people. Now thats not a bad thing as you want a heavy/duty frame if you are going to have a child sleeping that high up. The downside is that you need to assemble this bed and it is a big project. Perhaps other people have a little more skill than myself but the weight is what makes this difficult to assemble.
The material seems to be well made though. The metal provides a strong frame so I actually feel good about that. I just dont want to envision even having to try to move this thing again. The bed part to me works well for kids into their early teens. I suppose you could use it even for adults but it would be a little cramped given it is only a twin bed.
The desk aspect I think would be better with a little larger desk. Outside of that I really love this concept. Especially if you have a house with smaller square footage. This is a great two in one product. The finish on the metal is great. I love the gray steel tone. It seems to be durable once assembled correctly, correctly being the keyword here. You really need to follow the instructions step by step. The instructions are good for the most part. I would be cautious with making sure you keep track of every part as things like extra screws are not really provided. If you are not familiar with assembling furniture than I would suggest getting some help. No matter what as mentioned before you will need at least one other person to help just for the weight and bulkiness of the product.
The price point is fair in my eyes. This is a large piece of furniture that should last a long time given its all metal. As I mentioned earlier this is really a product for conserving square footage and for that purpose its a good choice.
Very good. It did take time to assemble as I did it opposite and had to unscrew and flip it and do it again. But was not bad. Do not tight all screw first time as mentioned in the instructions. It took time but was not that difficult. As product like this will take time to assemble.
Thanks,
Wonderful bed. Ordered an open box item and saved even more money. One part was damaged and the manufacturer quickly replaced the part with no hassle. Seems sturdy enough. I might add another cross beam on the top bunk, the mattress sags a little at one end, but thats to be expected at this price point.
My son ended up with the smallest bedroom in the house (youngest child and all), so as hes getting older, were always looking for ways to save space. The most obvious and wonderful advantage to the bed/desk combo is having 2 essential pieces of furniture occupying the same footprint. Oh, and it looks cool as well! pieces are invariably stylish!
My one gripe has got to be the ladder. The narrow rungs hurt my feet when I try to use it. My son doesnt seem to mind, but he only weighs 45 poundsthats much less pressure on his feet! And since Im not going to be climbing it much, its certainly not worth losing a star.
As others have indicated, assembly isnt bad at all, but is much easier with 2 pairs of hands. My son is really happy with his cool new bunk bed!
Post script: Weve had this bed in now for a while and continue to be happy! My son has set up the shelves with some of his treasures, and sometimes likes to hang a blanket to make a fort. I am planning on adding some lights (and I have something perfect in mind) for under the bed since it is dark.
It did take him a little while to get the hang of climbing up and down (hes only 6), and he still is afraid to have the ceiling fan on while hes up there. I did notice in better light that there was a dent in one of the posts, but I wont fault the brand for that! The biggest adjustment after having all the extra floor space? Making that bed! Holy moly, thats a pain, but not unexpected. Were happy and our little boy is as well.
I am an 18 year old girl, Im 56 and I weigh 130 pounds. When buying this I didnt see many reviews from adults who were sleeping on this bed. I assembled it with my cousin and finished it by myself, it was very easy to assemble (in fact it was fun) and for the most part it is very sturdy too. I check the screws once every couple of days to make sure they arent coming loose, and Ive only had to ever tighten one so far. I am very pleased with this and it gives me a lot of extra space.

Looks like a cool bed
This looks like a really cool bed, but mine arrived in a severely damaged box that was then left out in a heavy rain. So we were unable to use it.
Very nice. Kids love it. My 12 yr old sleeps on top.
Very good. It did take time to assemble as I did it opposite and had to unscrew and flip it and do it again. But was not bad. Do not tight all screw first time as mentioned in the instructions. It took time but was not that difficult. As product like this will take time to assemble. Thanks,

Great price!
This bunk bed is great for my 4 6 year olds, but the ladder and top bunk just dont feel sturdy enough for an adult to be up on the top bunk.
Space Saver!

Wish it was more strong because I have little boys that likes to play! But its good
Bang for the Buck
So far so good! took a little time to assemble but overall good.
Great for a college kid
