My son loves this loft bed, he keeps his couch underneath and now has a game room. He is 12, and helped put it together, now squeeks, it is super sturdy too!. It took a little over an hour to put together, that is with our son insisting on helping too. Love the color, and this will be a bed that will last a long time. Perfect addition to our house. Great product, plus free shipping you couldn't go wrong with this purchase. Follow the directions, and your good to go!
