Love the idea a loft bed opening up more room to remove my sons toys from the crowded room to his room. Im a single mother so I do everything myself. Although the materials were packaged well, it was SUPER heavy. I actually feel bad for the guy who had to deliver it to me.
The instructions were easy to follow. Some of the holes were off so I had to force some of the screws into the wood to make new holes. The bolts that connect the side panels will stretch the holes they sit in due to the poor wood quality so I couldnt tighten the screws any tighter without really messing up the integrity of the bed.
The slates arent the best. I would have preferred to be able to use the ikea slates I got for my sons old bed but there was no way to secure the slates to the bed leaving it very unsafe so I had no choice but to use what it came with until I can figure out an alternative.
So overall its good for the price I paid but not ideal. Itll do for now until ikea makes a full size loft. Overpriced.
Dont expect much for this price
