**Merax Full Loft Bed with Shelves & Desk – Solid Wood Frame, Espresso Finish – Space-Saving Study & Sleep Solution for Dorms, Apartments & Kids' Rooms**

I was worried about buying this based on all the 1 star reviews but the bed looked so cool I had to try. Using a drill, I assembled it in just over two hours by myself. The trickiest part was connecting the two large sides of the bed together. I ended up laying them down for the first 4 steps then stood it up for the rest. Its seems very sturdy (only time will tell) but just looks amazing. I had to tap one hole that didn't go all the way through. I didn't have any issues with hardware, missing items, unlabeled pieces, only one small crack in one of the ladder rungs. I put that one at the top of the ladder. I'd definitely buy it again, I just hope I don't have to;)Bed is a great buy, only issues we had were some of the predrilled holes for screws did not line up properly. My dad and brother had to make holes that worked to keep us from having to send back. Overall, happy with purchase.So, it arrived in two boxes both of which weigh 80+ lbs. It took myself and my daughter 3 hours to get it sorted, but we were building it in a small room. We actually got this because her room is so small and she has limited space but needed a desk for school. The bed itself, once assembled is wonderful, sturdy and my daughter loves it. Weight limit on the bunk is 200 lbs, and the bed is a standard twin size. Just make sure to follow the instructions so you don't have to backtrack for something you missed.I ordered 2 beds. Initially there was no hardware but the company fixed that really quick. Customer service was very responsive. Got both beds together today and am very happy with them. Kids love them.Arrived quickly however, the package was beat up, and one corner of a wooden piece was broken. There was a dirty spot that looked like a shoe print?? and a few minor scratches on the wood. Not a BIG deal but a little disappointing when purchasing someting new. Overall a fine bed for the value.I'm sad by how crappy this bed looks. My daughter was so excited to finally receive it, I don't know how to tell her we should return it.Update: The bed was damaged in shipping and the seller was very helpful and responsive.While we were building our home I shopped around for a loft bed for my daughter's room. I read a lot of reviews and decided to land on this one. It is fantastic and great quality. My husband assembled in in about an hour by himself. He was impressed with the quality and ease of assembly.They definitely could of put another coat of paint on it. Also could use a little bit more support for side to side movement. I plan on adding some. I put it together in just over 3 hrs by my self. But I am fairly good at these types of things. Only thing I would say to watch out for when putting it together is don’t tighten the bolts too tight when working on the shelves the wood is cheap and they will start pulling through
