Its a clever piece of engineering / lots of relatively lightweight parts that fit together to make a sturdy bed. Although I would definitely buy it again, there are some cautions on assembly. FIRST, pay very special attention to the pictorial instructions. Parts are marked with letters on little white stickers. Some parts look identical but they arent. If it shows part A/C fits with part M/N then make sure it goes together that way even though it might work with a similar looking part or else you wind up taking it apart again. That may seem obvious but its not as clear as it could be in the instructions and the pictures. And Im a former mechanic and machine assemblyman. SECOND, the threads on the many Allen head bolts used to put the bed together are fine, but the cap of the bolt where the Allen wrench goes in are a bit soft. As a result, its easy to round the Allen hole a bit. I didnt have any instance where I couldnt get it tight enough but I wouldnt want to try to undo them. The Allen wrench they provided was okay but I changed to a professional one that works with a ratchet after I started noticing the risk of rounding the heads. I didnt have a major problem because I was careful but its worth noting. THIRD, Id recommend leaving all the bolts a little bit loose until youre done assembling the bed. The instructions mentioned leaving some bolts loose for a couple of parts early in the assembly but I recommend doing it throughout. Especially important late in the assembly when you install the 22 slats into the frame and you attach the side rails to the bed, things arent going to line up unless youve left things a little loose. Then at the end go over each and every bolt very carefully to make sure they are tight. Note also that the slats will absolutely go all the way down as theyre supposed to but sometimes a little extra paint clogging the opening might be making it just a little difficult. But they need to go all the way down and have the plastic retaining clips go in. Finally, the space under the bed is great to put a tent or bureau or toy box for storage or a lot of individual things. In the case of my 6/year/old there wasnt enough height for her to sit at a desk under there. Overall I very much like the bed and recommend it, especially at the price.
Very easy to assemble and low enough where I can reach him for good night hugs and kisses. Instructions were easy to follow and we both really love his new bed!
This bed squeaks a lot. The ladder keeps getting unscrewed.
I keep finding screws here and there. I purchased this bed less than a year ago, it started falling apart a few months later
The bed itself is beautiful. My 5 yr old loves the bed. It honestly exceeded my expectations for the price. The only downfall is the ladder. The ladder bars are too think hurtful. So many people complain about them you would think there would be a better solution for them. Padding is hard to find unless you make them yourself. The pool tubes look funky.

Leave the bolts loose until all the parts are in and be careful not to strip the heads on the bolts.

Nice!
My son loves his new bed! Works great to give some room
Sturdy
I have had this for over a year and it is still sturdy
Good design and I prefer a little strong and a little taller.
My kid loves it. Just Im scared than is going to fall down. It make a lot of weird sound and looks like move easy.
Perfect for a young human (he is 6)
My Grandson Loved it! Its not too tall and it holds his precious toys underneath and still enough room for him to sit under and read and play.
Awesome bed easy setup
My son loves it
Best bang for buck
Really sturdy and a great price. Quite happy with the purchase. Recommend using drill as it will save you time when building.
Recommend!!

You will regret buying after a few months

HURTFUL STAIRS
