Weight limit: I'm 189 lbs and I sleep up here comfortably. Beware tall people if you're ceiling isn't too high. I'm 5'1 and can just barely sit up on the top.Look: looks great and saves spaceSturdiness: It wobbles a bit, but not enough to cause concern. Doesn't squeak when it wobbles (I haven't used the wall stabilizer)Desk space: Pretty good! Outlet works wellAssemble time: requires two people at least, around 2 hours if you make a bunch of mistakes 😂Overall: great purchase, especially if you're an adult looking for a fun bed :))))

This loft bed is solid construction for a metal bed as tall as it is (our last loft was much shorter and more squeaky and wobbly). It does move a bit when kids fuss around up top.Lighting and electric outlet / USB station are a nice addition.The height under the bed is good for younger kids, at about 4 feet clearance in the desk area. Thus leaving enough room for smaller people on top the bed without hitting the ceiling - We chose a thinner mattress to provide more headroom. Beware if you have low ceilings or ceiling fans.The Ladder is also the shelving which is 90 degrees to the floor making climbing a bit more difficult than other beds with a traditional slanted ladder (especially with sock on) , but it saves space.Construction was relatively simple and took several hours using a power drill with a allen wrench attachment (instructions were good; all pictures no words). Shelving is solid, attached with several carriage bolts preset into the wood on the underside of the shelving making them very sturdy. The set came w/ screws and mollies to attach for wall for stabilization, but we did not use them as it would tear the plaster right out of our walls when the bed moves. If we wanted to attach to the wall studs, it will require a DIY solution I think.

Ok, story time lol.I was mainly looking for a Twin-sized Loft bed to help optimize the space in a very small bedroom. They say "you can't have it all in life," and I sought out to defy the quote. Things I wanted: A good quality space-saving SAFE/STURDY bed, a desk, a ladder that didn't hurt my feet as I went up/down, not too rough on the pocket$, and, of course, nice-looking. "I'm asking for TOO MUCH," I said to myself as I began to hunt.After clicking on bed after bed, saving and comparing and scrutinizing over each and every one posted that I liked AND THE REVIEWS, zooming in on pictures, observing ladder positions, etc., I came across this one. The desk space is pretty generous, the brown woodsy look is pretty nice [actually what I was going for,] there are 3 long shelves that make a smooth transition into what becomes the ladder (space-saving, storage included ^_^), and as an added bonus, there are USB and plug-in outlets included [that really come in handy,] AND the bed comes with some tiny lightbulbs [cute and Christmassy, WITH A REMOTE! - Not my style, but it was a nice touch.]Ok, moving on.I decided to go for it. The bed comes in. [WARNING, pieces are heavy!] My brother and I begin to build. Instructions are fairly easy. We had an Allen key that matched the one included, so we were able to build simultaneously.Once we were done, we were in awe of how sturdy it was and the good quality for the price, considering that we did not use the anti-tipping piece. The wooden parts are actually really smooth, and I feel very confident in leaving a piping hot or icy cold cup on it without a coaster. Wipes clean like nothing happened. [I still use a coaster though, just sayin' hehe.] Nothing has fallen off the shelves over the past month since I've had the bed, as I thought it would with my going up/down the ladder. As I mentioned the ladder being one of the main factors I was searching for, my feet do not hurt AT ALL, EVER! Since it's essentially part of the shelving, I LOVE that I can lay my entire foot FLAT on it, ESPECIALLY during really sleepy mornings.Oh, and speaking of HURT, I have bumped my head on this bed SO MANY TIMES, and when I tell you that not even ONCE HAS IT HURT!!!!!!!! Idk what type of metal this bed is composed of, but I'm soooo glad it's that one lol because that was a silent prayer of mine, to not hit my head too much. And even as I have, I've never felt EVEN REMOTELY CLOSE to being mildly concussed.So, with all that being said, I am SO HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE! I have defied the "good, pretty, cheap" adage of NOT being able to possess all 3 at once. OBVIOUSLY, a good quality bed could either be good quality and cost much more, and even LOOK GOOD, but possibly not have all these features, or it can end up being absolute junk, ORRRRR you can knowingly get it CHEAP and it is, well, CHEAP. In this case, I have yet to find any flaws (aside from maybe instead of the string of mini bulbs, maybe LED strips instead?)If you're on the fence, after reading all of this, I'd say go for it. If I took THIS LONG to type out this review, it's because I TRULY FEEL THIS BED IS WORTH IT. Anywho, I hope this helps someone. Thanks for reading! The End ;P
