The instructions to assemble this bed are very difficult to follow and this is coming from an experienced carpenter. Several peices arrived damaged and will take weeks to get the replacements.
My wife and I were looking for a loft bed to make some more play space in my 3.5yr old sons bedroom. Its a fairly small room and we wanted more room for him to spread out his toys and things on the floor. He loves the new bed and spends quite a bit of time up on the bed part with his books as he does down below playing. We didnt think of how much he would like spending time in the bed part.
Assembly was fairly straight forward and the instructions are complete. The worst part of assembly is putting together the long side of the upper rails. Since there arent separate fasteners, they have to be slid in at the same time as the end panels go on. Definitely requires two people.
When assembled as delivered, the bed is fairly sturdy. Its not too tall, so it would probably be livable. I decided to make a couple of improvements for its long-term use and peace of mind. The first was that I added 6 more slats to the part that supports the mattress. We are using a 5 thick foam mattress from and it just seemed too soft in places. With three 1x3s eight feet long, I cut six more slats at 39 and screwed them down just like the others. The next improvement was to use some self-tapping sheet metal screws to join the slats to the steel beam down the center. This made a huge difference in the rigidity of the bed. Finally, I added two anti-tip furniture straps to tie it to the wall.
Overall, I would say that this was a winner. I was hesitant to buy something instead of building it myself, but I think that in this case it was a success. With a couple of inexpensive improvements it became exactly what we needed.
The directions are mostly easy to follow on how to put this together. Only needs a screwdriver and a bit of patience to put it together. Very solid when assembled. No sweaks or noises from the bed frame
We bought this as a Christmas Gift for our 3 year old daughter. It was the best purchase we made all year. Even though we downsized her bed from a queen to a twin, she has not complained once. The bed was easy to assemble, and only took my husband about 1.5-2 hours to put together. We did receive a cracked piece of wood, but had tremendous customer service and received a replacement within 2 days.
We have not had any issues with the slide being too straight. Both our kids have enjoyed having an indoor slide in the house.
There are lots of other loft with slides out there (we did a ridiculous amount of research), and while this one is a little more pricey than the others, its value is worth it in gold. I love that the slide can go on either side of the bed, and that the hardware matches the white wood. In addition, there is a high weight limit on this bed, so we are still able to lay with our kiddo and read her bedtime stories without being afraid of falling through.
The ONLY minute downside is that we had to go and purchase hardy board to go under the mattress so that the blankets wouldnt go between the slats.

I love the extra storage!
More assembly than we expected but the instructions were clear so it wasnt too bad.
Buy with caution

A good start for a small bedroom

installation wasnt bad. It looks just like the picture and works just fine for us. The drawers under frame work perfect for added storage.
He loves his bed!!
