Roman G.: Definitely recommend this, great quality bed for a reasonable price. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead
of 5 is that the wooden dowel pins are, for the most part, an appropriate length. However, since the manufacturer made all of the dowel pins the same length, the dowel pin which secures the desktop to the
leg / gusset support (in the middle of the desk) is actually simply too long. This causes the pin to push past the "predrilled" hole depth allowance (on bottom side) and so cracking the desktop surface on the
opposite side. Thankfully I simply loosened the steel bolts to allow myself to leave a gap between the
gusset and desktop and I used folded cardboard "shims" so that I could subsequently tighten the steel bolts once more, making sure the assembly remained sturdy. Of course, I also had to "flatten" the bulging
cracking surface back down with a mallet and a towel (don't strike the bare surface, it will get damaged).

Amazon Customer: Bed material is continuing to offgas more than one month after assembling. Have used air purifier & even fan w/ window open (although limited days b/c winter). Also desktop & side rails to ladder were delivered damaged. Took a lot of effort (photos, emails & calls to both manuf & delivery service) to get desktop replaced. Replacement came damaged had to go through that again to get desk top shipped 3rd time. Side rails to ladder have not been replaced - told they are not available for replacement. Child has not slept in bed yet b/c of off gassing. Trying to get this to work out b/c it was a Santa gift. 2 positives - quite stable for open design & attractive. Status - issues not fully resolved after ~1.5mos.

IHIH: Whoever designed the manufacturing and packaging of this loft bed has a mind like a computer. A remarkably efficient package. There was not an extra screw or piece of packing material to be found. Every piece lined up without exception. I’d give the directions a B-. If you have more than a thimble of mechanical ability you should have no trouble assembling it.
Cons:
The price jumps around daily. I pulled the trigger at $327.50. I’ve seen it go over $600. I think it’s a good value anywhere in the range.
I did have two double threaded metal sleeves pull out of the wood. The threads are opposite on the outside and fit the attached screws (righty tighty) on the inside threads. I figured out by using a small screw I could replace them into their fittings easily.
Also, I did benefit from a rubber mallet assembling the large desk piece, and an electric drill installing the slats.
Rubber wood, this is the first time I’ve heard of it or used it. It’s soft like pine. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just not hardwood. for those who mentioned smell, it briefly had the smell of painted wood… Exactly what you would expect. Regarding imperfections, I...

ClariceClarice: I LOVE this loft bed/desk. It is great for a petite adult--a lot of the loft beds are designed for kids/teens, so it took awhile to find one that fit my needs, and this one is perfect. It saves so much space in my small NYC bedroom. The desk is the entire length of the bed, so it is a nice long well made desk. The espresso color is lovely. It is exactly what I was looking for.
The assembly took me literally all day, but I did it alone and had never put together furniture before. If you have help and a little experience I'm sure it would take maybe 2-3 hours. It's a great purchase, if you want a nice desk and loft bed, this is a great one to get.
