Not super sturdy. I purchased this bed in both black and pink. They were pretty easy to put together. They are light enough to easily move around the room but not so light that they move on their own. The ladder is pretty uncomfortable on their feet, but that is true of most bunk/loft ladders. I havent had issues with the paint chipping off. The thing is, I read several reviews saying the bed was super squeaky and the bolts fall out. I brushed them off. I shouldnt have. The beds are super squeaky, and the bolts do fall out. Every time my daughter rolls over, it wiggles and squeaks loud enough for me to hear all the way in my room down the hall. But I could live with that. The bolts, however, are a big issue. Being aware this was a problem, we made sure to get them as tight as possible. However, within a few months, a bolt on my sons ladder and on his safety rail had fallen out, and several others were loose. Now, it clearly doesnt happen to everyone. However, it has happened to enough people that it must be defect. I almost never say this, but spend a little extra and get a better brand. Or, if you cant afford to, check the bolts once every week or two to see if they can be tightened. Other than that, a loft bed in general is a great way to give older kids more floor space.
Squeaky and falls apart over time.
