Love this bed (got it in the navy) for my 7yo’s new “big kid” room. I knew I wanted a loft bed so that I could put his desk for at-home learning underneath and maximize the space in our small home. I love the way the “brass” safety bars give this loft bed a little extra something and the slightly nautical vibes. Assembly was fine but took awhile and there’s no way you could do it with just one person. Took about 1.5 hrs with two of us. Taking off 1 star because the welds on the “brass” railing are pretty bad - it’s not a weight-bearing part of the bed so it’s fine but it does make me a little crazy to look at haha.
