STURDINESS: It will hold you and will not break. BUT it does start squeaking after a couple of weeks. The bars that you install to hold your mattress are just held by the sides without screws which is architecturally okay but causes there to be noise. If you wanna have someone else in your bed and are not the only person in your apartment/house, dont get this haha!
ASSEMBLY: Okay so the assembly is a little bit tricky to understand at first, but youll get the hang of it. It took me 3-4 hours to assemble it but about an hour to unpackage and another hour to clean up the MESS this creates. All the parts come held together in styrofoam. This is usually the case and makes sense. HOWEVER, the styrofoam is not even remotely intact and was falling apart causing thousands of styrofoam crumbs to go everywhere. A massive pain to clean up. Assembly is fairly straightforward, though, but just takes time.
PRACTICALITY: The height of the loft bed works really well for me. I built a desk underneath it (because I need a place for my piano keyboard and monitor to live) and I havent hit my head against the top once. Yes, I do have to duck to get under the bed (Im 510) but thats not a problem and youll not even notice it after a few days. I would definitely make sure to measure everything exactly before buying a desk to go under the bed so you dont have any fitting problems.
LOOKS: Its a very simplistic loft bed that isnt bulky at all. I like it but dont see how a loft bed for this price can look amazing.
Overall an 8/10 simply because the squeaking can be annoying when climbing on and off as well as any movement when atop the bed.
