The bed is great, however, we had trouble with the largest piece of wood for the stairs being damaged (3attempts made to ship it/replace it) but every one of them were damaged even though it said Fragile on the box. So this will probably be my last online bed shipment. Sellers were understanding and tried to fix it, but shipping did a number on every attempt. My daughter loves the bed and we settled on the least damaged of the 3 and put it together.Extremely difficult to assemble
Once assembled, it looks great, and its durable enough to handle the weight of an average 13 year old easily. The only issue was that the directions dont match the parts well. The cross members are smaller than the ones in the directions and require fewer fasteners. Also, there werent enough screws left by the time we were assembling the drawers, so we had to get other screws. In addition, the directions dont show which way to orient many of the boards. Though the product is nice when the assembly is done.
I will start by saying I love the design of this loft bed. I searched for months and this was the only on I could find with the features I wanted within my price range. The final product is very nice, my 4 year old loves it. That being said, this was the most infuriating piece of furniture I have ever put together. The are no instructions, just pictures. It doesnt tell you at the beginning that the first few steps for for a right sided set up. Fortunately, my husband figured it out before we got too far ahead. Now, I like to think my husband and I are fairly intelligent individuals, and have put together our fair share of furniture, but we had to redo every step at least once. I looked ahead and I organized everything before we began. Between the lack of instructions, some pieces being mislabeled, or not labeled at all, and the pictures on the directions changing from one photo to the next this process what very challenging. It ended up taking us all day, 11:30am to 10:30 pm (with a couple of meals breaks in there). I will say that having a third person would have been helpful to hold ends together while another person screws everything in. We did end up with a backward footboard since there were no indicator holes and my husband had to use some of his tools to attach the bottom of the stairs to the bed post. It just didnt seem secure enough to us. The wood itself is very soft and dents/cracks very easily. One dowel hole came completely smashed and a corner of the top board of the stairway is cracked off, as well as multiple small cracks and dents. When purchased I was hoping this would last my daughter into her teens but I dont see that happening. So, in the end it seems to be fairly sturdy and looks nice but is definitely not the quality I was hoping for.
I was overly excited when my frame showed up today only to find it came with no introductions.. I
am so disappointed. How can this be fixed? Help! I will update my review when I can actually build it.
Super sturdy and great quality. It does take a long time to build and the directions arent the best for old eyes. It makes up for that with the build quality and my daughter loves it! I most definitely love it
While the build of the product is strong and sturdy, the assembly has been an absolute nightmare. The hardware wasnt labled and we used the wrong pieces only to find out way too late in the game. We had to back track and disassemble several different times because the instructions were not clear on which direction pieces needed to go. The hossle of everything also meant that the damaged pieces we had were not worth the effort of taking apart yet again only to have to reassemble again. Doesnt assemble easily
Product arrived with some cosmetic damages, assuming it was done during transport. Product should have been better packaged to withstand the transport. Railing system to the stairs was constructed to go on the left of bed, but do to space constrictions, it has to be changed to the right. Substantial sturdiness was lost in doing this as the screws go directly into a soft wood instead of metal screw inserts, and now the screws cannot be tightened to strength. So, beware, you will need to be certain which side you want the stairs on before assembly. This may also create an issue if you need to disassemble the whole bed and reassemble into a new area, I would question the overall strength of bed. The price paid should accommodate having to disassemble and reassemble, without losing integrity.

Well designed and very sturdy
Assembly institutions were clear and easy to follow. Very good Not Perfect
Good bed, sellers good, shipping not great at all

Nice bed
My daughter loves it. I feel like the wood is a little cheap. Easily dented but all in all Im happy with the purchase.
Great quality and sturdy bed

Great quality, poor instructions for assembly

Very great quality product
Love this and my daughter is so excited and loves it too. Get it dont think about it
Nice looking, but question the sturdiness of the railing system.
