We bought this bed for our 11 year old daughter for her birthday. Its very cute and a great way to add floor space. There were a few spots that had damage, scratches and dents but not enough for us to send it back. It is very shaky when climbing up or moving around but still seems sturdy. She really likes it. Very compact.
I had this bed for about a month now and its really great. The bed is little shaky but stable. It has a nice size desk and a lot of room under it. Very nice product!
The biggest issues with this bed (that Ive experienced so far) are in the parts and assembly process. While the instructions are easy to understand and in theory the construction is simple, there are many pieces towards the end of the frame construction that you will have to manhandle into place because they dont fit properly. On more than one occasion I had to forcefully bend pieces to get the screws to line up with the holes properly. The worst example of this is the main crossbeam that supports the mattress. Its supposed to be bent up at a 90 degree angle on both ends so that it sits flush with the frame and then dips down so that the mattress can be placed on top. But, when I took mine out of the box, one end was only bent to about a 45 degree angle, meaning it was not laying down anywhere NEAR flush with the frame! I thought I was going to have to send out for a replacement piece, but finally I was able to force the thing into place by propping the bar up over a pile of books and pushing down on the end of it with my foot as hard as I possibly could to bend it into the right angle / and this is a sturdy piece of too so it took some serious force. Huge pain in the ass.
Some other things of note:
/ The desk is placed VERY high. Im 63 and still have to lift my hands considerably higher than whats comfortable when I sit in a a chair of average height. Youll likely need a height adjustable office chair to get high enough up to comfortably type with this thing, especially if youre a shorter person. Dont expect this desk to be usable at all for kids.
/ One of the shelf pieces was totally miscut. Its about a half inch too big for the space its supposed to fit, meaning I had to ram it into place as hard as I could to even get it close. Then when I finally got it down flat, the screw holes were about a half inch out of place, but the thing was jammed in so tightly that I couldnt adjust it. It works fine because its securely hammered in there and not moving regardless of the screws, but its still annoying.
/ The bed itself is sturdy enough, but like any loft, it does shake a decent amount when youre climbing up or moving around on the bunk. Keep in mind that because the desk is attached to the frame, whatever you have sitting there will be at risk of falling off if you shake the bed too much on your way up, or during other activities. Regardless, the bed is safe and youre not going to be at risk of having it collapse on you in your sleep.
I had great expectations for this loft/desk for my son because it solved a great deal of space issues for his room. First off you definitely need two people to set it up to make things go easy. Once finished it looked great and the full size mattress fit, but man is it a tight fit. My biggest concern was how sturdy this bed frame was and after reading another reviewer who stated it was rock solid with him and girlfriend on it I took a chance.
only reason for marking 4 star is because it makes weird sound whenever I roll on the bed, but its sturdy and have yet to break down on me. Will be ordering more.
The neg: many scratches in several different spots. I took pic of one. I wont return primarily because I believe it was from shipping; therefore, it would occur again. We got the black and they arent that noticeable.
FYI: it is unbelievably heavy in the box!!!!
The pos: easy instructions, looks great, 8yr old girl LOVES it!! Excuse mess in pic/taking down wallpaper. Very happy.

Great space saver
My daughter loves her new bed Shake a little, but not to a point that you feel unsafe Very helpful.
Great way to add space! Damaged some in shipping and a bit shaky.

A good space saver, but has some issues.

Terribly Scratched Up
the frame was scratched up right out of the box.
Lofty expectations, but painfully disappointed.
