UPDATE:   We loved the idea of a loft bed.   After 2-3 weeks of my 100 pound tween son sleeping in it, the bed is now very wobbly.  He has a hard time sleeping in it now, because it shakes every time he moves over night.    Disappointed for sure.   We were very excited for this.

Love the bed.   It smelled both in our home and in our son's room for a week after we unboxed it.  Bed seems sturdy though, and we do appreciate the open room now!    Word of caution though - make sure to account for ceiling fans - we didn't and almost sent it back due to that.   However we're working around it - and if nothing else will have to take the fan out.
