Very Affordable Loft Bed,

This review is from: Canwood Base Camp Loft Bed, Natural (Kitchen)
We purchased this loft bed for our 8 year old daughter. It was delivered in about 2 weeks and packaging was very rugged and complete. I found it fairly easy to assemble. It took about 4 hours to assemble, it would have been much less, but I had two of the legs swapped. That meant the backside lower stabilizer bar had holes only on one side. Besides that error (mine), it should have been closer to 3 hours assembling.
Complaints: First, 2 of the nuts were stripped. I had to go to Home Depot for new nuts. Second, the side rails have VERY long wood screws (5 or 6")... almost impossible to do by hand, so you better have a power driver. The wood is soft pine, so you can damage it by over tightening - be careful.
After assembling, we put our daughters small dresser in one end and I built a desk into the other end. I also added a bulletin board above the desk (1/2" plywood with cork board glued on). Screwing this into the frame significantly strengthened the...Read more

Not exactly sturdy, but a great product for the price,

I purchased this item for my 12 year old son to increase usable space in his room. The bed shipped on time/quickly. It took me a hour and a half to assemble with minimal instructions, but it is pretty straightforward to figure out. The stain of the wood is consistent and looks fantastic. The wood itself comes from Viet Nam and is very light (not sure of the wood family). The wood can be easily dented or scratched, but no more than a comparable expensive Pottery Barn kitchen table I have. After tightening up every bolt and screw and attaching the ladder, the bed looked great did exactly what it was intended to do. I would have preferred a bed that was more sturdy when climbing onto the bed, once it was moved into the corner and had the support of the walls of the bedroom, that was less of a concern. My son LOVES it. And for the price and the look we got, we love it too.

I bought this product for my children who meet the guidelines for having a raised bed. After setting up the beds, I noticed that the bottom step on both beds had split after the children climbed on top to make their beds. Both children weight under 120lbs and the weight restriction for the beds is 165lbs. Now, I need to take the added time to call and find if there are replacement parts: something I would rather not do since my time is very, very limited between parenting and working. I still like the product and I love how it has created personal space for my children in their room. I would recommend this type of product to others as I do believe it is a space saver.
