Got this for our 12 year old so he doesn't have a "little kid" room anymore. He picked it out and it got delivered in 5 days. Arrived today and it was packaged great (very heavy tall skinny box). My son and I had it together in about 2 hours. Instructions are great and the bolts come in a categorized/labelled package so you don't have to sort thru a bag of hardware to find what you need. All the tools you need to put it together comes in the package as well. It seems like a sturdy loft and futon. My only hesitation with it is that you have to crawl up and over the railing to get in and out, which I wouldn't like but he doesn't seem to mind it. I don't think the ladder can be moved from the side that it shows in the picture - just an FYI if you are considering this product. Great purchase and great price.
