Harper & Bright Designs Twin Size Loft Bed with Ladder, Wooden Loft Bed Frame for Kids Teens Adults (Espresso)

Bought for a Christmas gift for my 6yr old. He loves it it’s not terribly wobbly and he feels safes walking up and down the stairs. The instructions are ridiculous though just pictures no words also many pieces didn’t have holes that lined up so had to create our own. Overall I’m pleased with the purchase

We needed a loft bed for our 12 year daughter so her desk could fit underneath it. This worked great to free up more space in her bedroom. It is a very sturdy well made bed. Highly recommend!!!

You get what you pay for here. The bed is extremely rickety and was shaking enough to knock into the wall.Despite the 600 lb weight limit, it's definitely geared more towards kids. I'm 200 lbs + my full size mattress is probably about the average weight for one given how it feels to lift it, maybe around 50 lbs. Even accounting for two 12 lb cats and a few pounds of bedding, that's less than half the weight limit and the thing still was shaking like crazy.The bed slats also don't come pre drilled and where you're supposed to put them isn't marked, so you have to measure and space them out and drill holes and screw the screws in yourself.It is however, promising for the price if you own and are comfortable with a drill. I did some measurements, went and got $40 worth of lumber from the hardware store (3/4 inch thick, 3 1/2 inch wide beams), and my roomie was willing to cut it down with his miter saw. (I think most hardware stores also will cut it for you.) I did a vertical and horizontal crossbeam on the sides, and one vertical and two horizontal crossbeams against the back. I sunk 2" wood screws in the beams that were thick enough for it and 1 1/4" ones in the parts that were thinner like the lip under the slats. I also screwed the vertical and horizontal beams to each other where they crossed.There are natural recesses about as thick as the beams I used that allowed me to place the vertical beams without needing spacer blocks so the horizontal ones could rest mostly flat against them.It's not pretty because it's unfinished lumber but I can always sand it down and paint it later. That really sturdied it up a lot and while it creaks a little it doesn't shake at all now.I didn't do it at the time because I was just trying to get it ready but I plan to go back and gradually drill and sink 2" and 3" screws in areas at joints where they won't hit the wooden pegs it came with. I recommend doing that up front if you have time.The stairs have enough screws they're at least pretty sturdy, though narrow if you're not a kid and kind of smooth. I wouldn't recommend going up and down them in socks unless you put down grip tape.Still, it's got potential for the price. The wood itself is fairly solid, it just seems like the use of pegs and only a few screws at joints, plus very few cross support beams near the bottoms, is why it's shaky. It's still usable for larger teens, college age kids, or older, albeit unnervingly shaky. But with some DIY TLC you can get it pretty sturdy still at a lower price than some other platform beds. Buying this one and shoring it up myself was still cheaper than some of the ones I saw, especially ones with stairs, esp ones with a higher weight limit.Also if you want a loft bed but also stairs so pets can get up there because they can't do ladders, the stairs seem to give my cats no problems and a lot of dogs could probably manage them. (Though particularly large dogs might find the stairs too narrow and small dogs might struggle with how tall they are.)

Bed is reasonably priced but you get what you pay for. Some of the holes for the screws were not properly carved out so I had to fix them with my own power tools. Bed is pretty wobbly so I had to secure it with screws to the wall.
