DONCO Kids Low Study Loft Bed - Dark Cappuccino Finish

Zoe's momZoe's mom: After reading other reviews I was a little worried that pieces would be missing, not clearly marked or that the instructions would be difficult to follow. None of that happened with us though. My purchase was recent(September 2020-maybe those issues were with earlier packaging/manufacturing runs.) Everything was clearly marked and color coded, all hardware was in labeled bags and if you’ve ever built anything from IKEA you’ll be able to follow these instructions. Each piece comes in its own box with instructions and hardware for each. My husband did need to make a few pilot holes for attaching the 3 short vertical slats that go around the top of the bed but that was easy enough. You’ll definitely want to use a power drill to assemble. The bed is sturdy and there’s plenty of room underneath even with the drawers in place. The manufacturer says not to use a mattress that is deeper than 8 inches, we had one that was 11 inches and sat a bit too high and close to the top of the rails for my liking but we were able to easily get a thinner one from amazon also. In total this took my husband about 4 hours to assemble over 2 days mostly on his own. He nicked it...

zanetrevonzanetrevon: I bought 2 of these low loft beds for my boys ages 12 and 9!!! Originally I was canvassing IKEA, but prices and availability to be delivered from the Atlanta location halted that purchase several times. So, after nearly 3 months of that non-sense I gave up and ended up finding these instead. SCORE!!!! I was immediately sold. I was interested in buying loft beds with desks for my 2 boys in their shared room in our new home. Several things sold me with this purchase.....it was a loft, slide out desk, dresser drawers, and a bookshelf!!! We have hardwood floors and ceiling fans, so the height was instantly hazard free for those issues as far as falling off or reaching up! Boys will be boys! As I already stated, a desk was my main concern, but with this bed it was like getting 2 free gifts....a bookshelf and 3 dresser drawers too!!! The boxes are quite large and extremely heavy. The shipment of all boxes came 2 different days back to back, but earlier than expected. The boxes were sealed securely and undamaged. The bed frame wood is solid, sturdy and has a nice finish to it. The dresser drawers and bookshelf are easily removable and interchangeable. In the picture I...

Glenn Wang: This is a great bed frame for the price. The material feels quite sturdy. Obviously, the loft design with bookshelf, dresser, and pull-out desk means you get to maximize your space in a small room. There's additional space underneath the bed that kids can use as a "secret base," I've attached a little clip-on desk lamp there.

I purposely chose a loft bed that was not very tall, which makes it much easier for me to carry my son and place him in the bed, if we return home late and he has fallen asleep in the car. Imagine having to climb up one of these ladders while carrying a kid!

Assembly was time consuming, but straightforward. The instructions were mostly pictures that were simple to understand. My only complaint about the assembly is that most of the included Philips screws do not have accompanying pre-drilled holes, and since you're told not to use power tools in the instructions, you're left with needing to use a lot of manual labor to try and screw them in, some in places where you'd be blocked by adjacent boards that make it difficult to apply strength.

Another issue I encountered (which the seller quickly resolved after contacting...
