This frame has suited perfectly the needs of two twenty/somethings living in a downtown studio. Like many studios, ours featured a walk/in closet that we turned into our master bedroom. This frame fits so perfectly in the space that it almost seems custom built. Also, since its impossible for us to fall off the bed, weve used a 12 memory foam mattress. The bed is a tank. The 300lb weight limit is probably a liability thing. Sleeps myself, an Army veteran at 61 and 200 lbs, and my girlfriend at 511 and 150 lbs, and it really doesnt move at all unless youre climbing up or down. Which brings me to the only con: its quite uncomfortable to walk up and down the ladder with bare feet. There are sweet spots and gentle ways youll try out to get down this thing but it can be a little unforgiving. I wanged my knee, hard, the first night while getting down in a half/awake state. The solution we came up with is a craft foam cushion that we got in black from a local foam rubber plant. Cut and hot glued on the ladder steps, its much more comfortable on your toesies. We also found that an IKEA KNOPPARP loveseat fits perfectly in the loft space and even leaves room for a lamp, which we control via a remote switch. The box it came in was very small for something so large. It did fit in my car, sort of, and I know that because it arrived in town 4 days before the delivery date and I, impatient, went to pick it up. Ive attached a picture of that for reference too. Overall, very satisfied. Price is great, product is great, packaging was efficient. A+ item. solid build quality
