Hillsdale Caspian Youth Solid Wood Twin Loft Bed for Kids Room, White

This bed is sturdy and good for space-constrained rooms. There’s no need for an annoying wall-mount kit. The bed is suited to child or early teen. I wouldn’t sleep two on this. The product originates from Malaysia. It’s a good value, more so on sale. I saw cheaper beds of poor quality, or which would require expensive add-ons such as the desk included here.I would recommend two people to assemble. Read the directions carefully so you don’t skip parts such as the pegs. The diagram is mediocre and cluttered so study it carefully. Two people could build an end and side each, the desk and the ladder. Plus it would help to have someone else to help maneuver and flip the frame during construction. It took me nearly 3 hours due to lack of work space. Halve that with a helper.Mind your hardware. There are no extras so anything dropped or lost needs to be replaced from your parts bin.Make sure you have a step ladder. Any drill work should be done slowly. Hex attachments would be helpful too, particularly for disassembling a prior bed.Build the ends, the sides, then attach them. Add the desk and ladder. The lattice to support the mattress goes on at the end. Everything slots together nicely.

This is a resubmission. My previous review was removed because I added an external url of where I found the instructions. The frame didn't come with instructions and I didn't have the time to wait for an email response of the instructions. If you have time to wait for emailed instructions, please email the company, but if you Google them; you might find them that way also. Maybe you can email them before the frame arrives, so you won't have to worry about it when the frame arrives. Other reviews stated it didn't come with instructions, but I thought that was just for them, so I didn't think I needed to email them. I'm not sure if that's normal, but I would email them ahead of the to be safe. Overall bed is pretty sturdy and quiet. Glad I went with wood instead of metal. I bought this around black Friday for 40%, but would have bought this at the original price if I had to. Cuddling seems okay for adults, but I wouldn't try doing too much with 2 adults on this bed frame. I think weight limit is 330 including the mattress. Put together by myself with maybe 2 hrs. I suggest that you use the included tool for tight spaces/ finishing and an impact drill with correct attachment for everything else because if not; your hands will definitely hurt. Also using the drill is so much faster. I didn't have an issue with wood ripping apart, but just be careful not to overdue it with the impact drill. Leave room for adjustment by not tightening all the way and only tighten when you for sure have the pieces together correctly. The only real downside was the pieces weren't as protected as I had hoped. There was some dings as other reviews stated and my desktop corner was also damaged. Luckily it wasn't too bad. I also wish the steps were an extra 1 or 2 wider. It's not uncomfortable, but I think it would be more comfortable with wider steps.Great buy. Definitely recommend if you need a sturdy twin loft frame that isn't noisy. Also looks aesthetic and neutral.

This was an excellent deal price wise. It was for my daughter, age 16, about 180 pounds. It was easy for my husband to build, all the pieces were there, it looks like high quality wood, it's really nice and spacious underneath. However when my daughter climbed up in it, it was clear the slates that held the mattress were weak. That part is weak and too far apart for real support. So immediately they were bowing. We had her get down and my husband cut pieces of plywood to put under the mattress to better distribute the weight and then he bolted bigger bolts as reinforcement through all the areas to support it better and keep it strong. Now it's super strong and perfect. My daughter even sits with her friend up there who is probably 150 pounds. So if you have a bigger or older kid, just plan to reinforce it for strength. Otherwise it's kinda weak at the mattress part. Also why some people complained it cracked in that area. Otherwise, it's a heck of a deal and really worth it! The loft beds we were pricing in stores were almost a thousand dollars so this is amazing!

My 9 and 5 year-old kids share a room. My initial set up was using the ikea Flysta bookcases to divide the room-- that could have been great if their room has a bit more sq ft of space! So I kept looking and searching for new ideas on Pinterest and YouTube etc. I want each kid to have their own space but not to sacrifice the overall space in the room. Finally I decided to use loft beds. I myself had one when I was little. BUT I didn't like that straight ladder and small desk with built in wardrobe under the bed. I think this simple loft bed with "walk-in" desk area is better. Kids can put whatever they prefer behind the desk and the desk is a good size too! It's like they each have their own cubicle! I have attached 2 pictures. Yes it's pretty messy but u get the idea. I also had to take a risk not knowing if I could fit 2 loft beds (~80 inches each) side by side in the room (but it was perfect fit like custom made!) Also the bed is sturdy! I am not light and I climbed on the ladder and even briefly sat on the bed without problem :). Assembly took like 2 hours with 2 people. One person assembly would be hard and u need to have a platform/ cabinet/ ladder to help hold on to the loft bed pieces. But all in all, instruction is easy to follow, wood feels solid and sturdy ( our navy beds are up for a month and don't have wood cracking problem like the other reviewer... theirs may actually be paint cracking?), also great design! Oh and my 2 kids love it!* Maybe I was lucky... both of the loft beds arrived with fine packaging, wood is fine with only minor "not-so-smooth" area on the inside of 1 ladder and no dent/ chip/ missing parts!
