The best weight limit out there / Reinforce the 2 middle ladder steps
This had to be the only loft bed with a 400lb weight limit. Obviously my kids are nowhere near that but you add a mattress, two kids up there, or them just flopping around, having that weight limit is really reassuring. There were 2 things I wanted to point out. They dont do the best job of labeling the bolts. It took us a long time to be sure we were using the right ones. The second thing is the ladder. The top and bottom step have dowels and bolts keeping them in place. The center two steps only use dowels. Personally, I thought they really needed to be reinforced. I cant imagine them holding up. We bought some L/brackets to reinforce them. At this price point, I was MORE than happy to buy them. Someone mentioned the beds were wobbly. We tightened the bolts we could see a week after they started using them and check every now and then. With our beds, tightening fixed any wobbling. We bought the model with the bookshelf, so that may be adding to the stability. Very durable.
