This bed has a high metal cage surrounding the upper bunk, which is good. The entire bed is about 6 lower than another futon bunk bed that we have. I would prefer that it be higher, because adults may have to duck when getting out of the futon sofa. It also sits lower to the floor, which means less underbed storage. Our other futon bunk bed has unobstructed 10.5 clearance below the futon, which means we can easily put a trundle bed or storage under it.
Most of these bunk beds will move if the person above moves around a lot, but the bed is not in danger of collapsing. Assembly is not for the faintofheart, but my 15 year old son put it together in about 3 hours.
One nice thing is that there is a ladder on BOTH ends of the bed, so if you move it, there is still a ladder at the end of the bed! Most bunk beds have only one ladder.
Overall, Im happy with my purchase.
Great sturdy bed. It took about 2 hours to put together but it is worth it. My son used this bed for 3 years and its held up very well. Never any issues. The ladder isnt great and tends to hurt bare feet but if you have another ladder or pad the rungs its fine. (We used the swim noodles and cut them to fit. Worked great!
I had misplaced the instructions and emailed Customer Service simply asking for the Assembly Instructions for the Metal Loft Bed with Desk and within 5 minutes, Amanda emailed me both versions (with without desk of instructions. I was shocked at how fast and accurate their response was. Id give 10 stars if they had that option to review them!
We have had this bed for about 8 months. It wasnt that hard to assemble, but it did take some time; there are a lot of individual pieces to put together. It is very sturdy.My kids climb up and down with no shaking or wobbling of the bed. The bookshelf is great as a space saver in a small bedroom. I havent used the desk I mainly chose this for the extra shelves. Im sure the desk is fine though. I knocked off one star because a little bit of the white paint is chipping off in some places and that is annoying. Overall though, its a good bed especially for the price.
This bed was ordered last year and has held up with out worry. The metal design and the secure nuts and bolts are great, has not loosened at all yet. Being used for a 7 yr old girl (75 lbs and her friends have been climbing all over it! I put this together myself, took about 3 hours, would go much faster with two people, but definately doable for one 40 yr old Mom. The directions were pretty clear, lots of pictures, just had one mixup where I put the wrond end so the holes for the ladder were on the insde. I would absolutely reccomend this bed for someone looking for a nice bunk bed.
This was bought to make the most out of a small room. It is great with that. My son feels as if his room is much bigger than it is b/ c of the loft set up. My husband and son spent 1/2 the day putting it together. My husband is usually pretty quick with these things. He actually had to resort to reading the directions and even that didnt seem to speed up the process. Now that its together though we really like it.
It took my 21 year old son a long time to put together (5 hours but after it was done my 10 and 8 year old boys really love the bunk beds. It is sturdy but sometimes it wiggles when the 10 year old is on top but that is mostly because he is acting like a monkey not literally of course! The only con is the ladder, its really painful on the feet because its metal. Im going to put something on the poles to cushion them. I would recommend the bunk beds and Im rather hard to please. LOL
I order this from and paid extra shipping to Hawaii since I cant find this type loft bed at the store. I actually place this loft bed over my twin bed. Best decision since I can still keep my twin bed. I choose white color, It looks very nice and very sturdy.
Easy to assemble, unbeliveably sturdy! Before I ordered I thought maybe would be wobbly, or not hold a lot of weight, works perfect and is exceptionally sturdy, I highly reccomend for a family on a budget!
Iplastic clips. These can go from infuriating to fairly simple if you know two things. First, the clips are not symmetrical; they only go in one way. The two vertical bars run all the way to what should be the bottom of the clip, but do not run all the way to the top. If you try to put one in the other way, youre in for a long afternoon/evening. Second, pliars. I know the clips are plastic and seem fragile. But your thumbs are fragile too, and there are a LOT of these clips to put in. Some of them snap in without much effort, but most of them were really tough. Only after my thumbs were about to fall off did I decide to risk pliars. Turns out the pliars worked great, as long as youre careful with them. They may scratch the paint a little, but I decided I could live with that. Result: thumbs recovering and no broken clips.
In the end, the bed seems very solid. I climbed up on the top bunk to test it before letting my daughter up there. Felt very solid, even for me (Im about 160 pounds.
Good luck!

well worth it.
I bought this about a year ago to go with the Kings Brand B391B392 Metal Day Bed Frame, Twin, Black (
Fantastic product
