Question: what is the weight capacity?
Document: Product is well designed and goes together well. Packaged well for shipping, despite it's ungainly size and weight. Plan on about an hour to put it together, with basic hand tools being needed. Definitely assemble it in the room it will be in. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality, considering the comparatively low price point. Even the drawers are well thought out and sturdy. Great value for the price.
we knew for the price we paid we were not going to get the best bed in the world but were pleasantly surprised with this. Assembly went relatively smoothly although there were a few minor issues: one of the main boards for the ends of the frame did not have the drill holes for a piece that was to be attached and there were no drill holes at all to attach to the other main boards of the frame.
took a while to assemble it but its my best and most fav purchase .. people think its very beautful and extrememly steady..
this product is great for the price ,delivery was on time ,no missing parts, little bit hard to put together but other then that no complains.If you thinking to buy it for your kid go for it .
some of the pieces came damage but not too bad, miss pieces had to call and get them, there were no instructions just a book with photos and I am suppose to guess where everything goes.
some of the parts are not fitting properly,, edges of the board are broken at some places, drawers are not easy to move
product looks good but i need a complete bed with mattress. this does not have what I'm looking for.will continue to look.
parts are broken; parts are cracked; fittings don't fit. Can't return package because I can't lift it; besides already started to put it together when discovered broken pieces.wasted my money
ok this one is sometimes broken parts but after a very hard time of putting together lol it looks great i am a adult and my kid sleep up there so sturdy but putting together you want to throw it
i bought this bed for myself. i'm an adult 5' 8&#34; 180Lbs , took about 2 hours to build from the time i opened the box till the time i slid the draws into place. the instructions are a little confusing at first but not impossible to follow. and i built it alone.It's a nice sturdy bed. the draws aren't the largest around for space.
Answer: Hello Ruth, this is a good question!  The weight capacity of our mates bed 39 inches is 250 pounds, including the mattress. The bed is also an economic option since it does not require the use of a box spring.For additional question, you can contact us at 1-800-290-0465 or visit us at www.southshore.com :)
