The directions we received were for a different product so we had to some the puzzle of how to put the bed together! One bore hole was missing so we had to drill it in and two of the boards had small cracks that we had to repair. The corner on the was damaged. We werent able to fix it but we kept the bed anyway. We bought two of these beds. They created a lot more space in the room. They are sturdy enough for our teen boys. Since there were so many pieces and instructions for the wrong bed in the first box we opened, it made Construction difficult. The second bed was much easier to put together since it came with the correct directions and no damaged pieces.
I got this bed because the local furniture stores dont have anything available until spring maybe. First, my daughter is maybe 90 pounds soaking wet so we werent super worried about it holding her weight. This bed seems like it could probably hold her and a few of her friends no problem. Im actually pretty satisfied with how sturdy it is and how it looks. Theres some cosmetic flaws, but for the price, I cant complain. What I can complain about is how impossible it was to put together and how useless the instructions were. I cannot emphasize that enough. You better either have a really great marriage or hire a couple people to put it together and save yourself the bickering and blisters. It took two people, both fairly mechanically inclined and one holds a doctorate, six hours to put this together. Ive done my share of furniture assembly and this was by far the worst. In some pieces there werent even guide holes for the screws so you literally just had to muscle a screw into the wood. The instructions showed holes in pieces where there wasnt holes or vice versa. So trying to figure out which of the four posts was supposed to be facing which way was essentially trial and error. And if you chose wrong, it put you back to the beginning. It was completely frustrating. Fortunately this looks like itll last for a good while so we dont have to go through assembly again
We ordered this bed for one of our kids. As far as assemble/it/yourself/beds, it was actually pretty straightforward as the instructions were clear and all the pieces were in the box. Naturally, it went quicker because we used a power screwdriver and not the little hex/key included. Having three people to help with the final assembly stage is highly recommended. The final bed with looks great and is stable. Not unexpected but important to keep in mind is the the ladder stick out about one foot away from the bed.
I love everything about this bed. Except that its wobbly. Im 100 sure everything is screwed in correctly. I check the bed every night to make sure there are no cracks from all the wiggling.
I purchased this bed after trying out a full loft bed, which was a shaky/noisy disaster. This one is quite sturdy. I made sure not to tighten the bolts until after the entire thing was assembled, and then went around the entire bed a few times to tighten with the hand allen wrench. I did use an impact driver on the lowest setting for everything except the final tightening, as to avoid stripping out the wood screws where used.
Unlike some other reviewers I got the instructions in the box, and had zero damaged pieces or misaligned holes.
There are a couple of reviews that mention the bed not accommodating a Twin mattress I measured 76/1/2 of space, which leaves a little bit of extra room on top of a standard 75 mattress. I dont see how a Twin XL would fit.
Got this for my little brother under a year ago waited until now to write a review to let him use it for a bit and tell me if anything was wrong. He seems to really like it his room is a little on the small side so this gives him a lot more floor space hes turned the underneath into his man cave with his Xbox and TV set up on the and his collectables on the shelves. He only wishes it were a little shorter as he has about a foot and a half to 2 feet of clearance between the ceiling and the rail for him to get into the bed. But again its a small room and I shouldve measured.

My 12 year old daughter built 90 herself
This bed is wonderful. It really is super sturdy. My kiddo loves putting things together and completed almost all of it by herself!
Love the bed
I love the bed but all the bolts are really cheap the heads striped out an there wasnt one straight long bolt in the bag
Hire somebody to assemble

Wobbly

Great use of vertical space
Got this for my little brother under a year ago waited until now to write a review to let him use it for a bit and tell me if anything was wrong. He seems to really like it his room is a little on the small side so this gives him a lot more floor space hes turned the underneath into his man cave with his Xbox and TV set up on the and his collectables on the shelves. He only wishes it were a little shorter as he has about a foot and a half to 2 feet of clearance between the ceiling and the rail for him to get into the bed.

Great bed for a small space
My son has the smallest bedroom, he really loves his new set/up! Handsome bed with several built in shelves and the perfect size !
