Farmhouse Storage & Play Loft

Very, very pleased with this bed. We were looking for something that would offer our 12 year old daughter a place to maintain a permanent fort and this fit the bill. The forts in the living room were getting a little old as I didn’t have the heart to make her take a fort down until I saw that she had stopped using it with any real consistency. She is approximately 5 feet tall and weighs 85 pounds. She is able to crawl in and out with ease, and while it is too low of a ceiling for her to fully sit up underneath, there is plenty of room to crawl around and lean against her pillows to enjoy a book, electronics, or a snooze. The bed itself is able to accommodate plenty of weight. I don’t recall the exact number from the advertisement, but it is definitely sturdy and well manufactured. My daughter and I (mom) put it together ourselves without any issues; took about 4 hours I’d say…we just worked a couple hours over two days. The instructions were clearer than most that I have encountered in my 45 years, with the parts nicely labeled to eliminate guessing. The only tools you’ll need, in addition to the Allen wrenches that are provided, is a drill with a Phillips head bit and a Phillips head screwdriver (to use to tighten the screws and make them flush—the drill at that stage can strip a head). The wood looks like it is painted with a dull, white primer (not glossy or shiny) and has a nice feel to it. Some spots have a little roughness to them, but I think it is the aesthetic look that the manufacturer was going for, rather than sloppy craftsmanship. I also like the option to have the book shelf and drawer on the left or the right…we chose the right due to the configuration of her room. We also chose not to install the drawer itself as it takes up a lot of space inside the fort. We simply glued the face of the drawer on with some wood glue; it just looks like it was meant to be a faux drawer. The bed itself is about halfway up the wall, which is nice as it is not so tall that it overcrowds or make the room look small. You will not need a boxspring with this. She had one with her old bed, but when we put on both the boxspring and the mattress, it made the top of the mattress flush with the top of the wooden sides. Not safe. Using just the mattress itself allows her to have the protection of the wooden sides in the event she rolls at night. I really cannot think of any cons. It is very sturdy once it is assembled and it checks all of our boxes. I hope this review is helpful. I rarely write them, but since I always read through them before I make a purchase, I took the time today. Good luck!

Bought for my grandson 10 that used his closet as his “man cave” 😂 He spends hours in it!! I was afraid it would be too young for him. I took the chance since other loft beds were higher and we worried about hitting his head on the fan. You know boys wrestling or being boys!! The cave below is low in height and he can’t sit straight up but can sit cross legged and hunched and loves laying and reading. He is almost 5 ft tall. The instructions were great! The box is very heavy!!It takes two people to put together since sometimes one has to hold a piece while the other screws. If not doing that I would set out the pieces for the next step. It helps to have a bowl to put screws in since there aren’t extra. The bed turned out great!!! One side on the bottom is made to be against a wall since it is open. We liked that since he then had access to a plug for light and fan. We may use the bed longer than anticipated because with open side we will turn it around and use as storage (college dorm style ) Just our thought.

Very heavy duty, takes 2 people to put together.

My hubby is very handy with construction and putting things together. He has constructed a bed from lumber for one of our other kids. Like many people, he just lacks the time. Enter this cute bed for our 5 year old. PROS: He said it was very well constructed and solid. Even some holes that needed to be predrilled or fit very precisely, were as they should be. We had no cracked boards as some others mentioned. Instructions were clear and it is solid. CONS: Two of the large boards on the sides are very rough and not sanded as others mentioned. Also there are lots of pieces to this bed!!! Including a 75 page picture manual. Even for a handy man like my husband, it took over 3 hours to put together without stopping! Its true that the paint job could be better but that doesn't bother me too greatly. The little shelf on the side is small and kind of useless. I will replace it with something else. The play area underneath is great for little kids but if I had to do over, I would not have gotten the drawer option. The drawer sticks out inside and takes up a lot of the play area. I included a photo of my 6 foot hubby telling our girl goodnight so you can see the size a little more accurately. Personally, I dont see a child using this much past the age of 9 or 10 as it is shorter/smaller than your average loft bed. My daughter is happy though, so ultimately we are satisfied.

I am very impressed with this bed. It is heavy and once it is put together is very well made. All the pieces of the bed are made up of solid wood. It took my husband and I about 2 hours to assemble the entire bed. Make sure you take your time and do not lose any of your screws because there is no extra. The instructions were very clear and easy to understand. I like how each step was illustrated and in exact detail. Once built it is very stable and durable. My 4 year old son was thrilled with his big boy bed. The bed is so cute in person. It is comfortable for him. I like the safety bars across the sides that has a little tray that I will put his little tablet on.

This is a good job to assemble there is many step read well the instruction like "only tighten to 80%" ( for next step ). Once assemble it's amazing for the kid and you can hop in with your toddler even if your 255lbs like me or even more.

Our son is very happy with his new bed. It’s not super high up and the hangout spot under it, is what every kid dreams of! It’s his secret little fort and he loves it. The shelves are a big plus as well. Pretty solid wood and hardware. A little on the pricey side but it’s a beautiful and cool unit!

Perfect for that growing stage. My girl is 3.5 years old and she lovesss it. She loves the cubby underneath! Quality of wood in used is good, no pieces were be broken

Some parts were flimsy upon assembly and split when attaching but my son LOVES it 2 small parts were missing

good instructions, quality product. as described. will be buying a second one.
