Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bottom line: Good bed for the price. Better if you are willing to make some improvements to stability yourself. Pros: - Excellent price/value. - Nice materials. Good quality. - Easy to assemble solo in under an hour. - Nice play/storage area under the bed. - 7 year old son loves it! Cons: - The smell! It smells pretty bad at first. 2 days put together and still smells pretty bad. - Pretty wobbly. (See below for my fixes) - Instructions say ladder can go on either side. But the pieces didn't have the correct holes. (Fixed myself by making holes). Issues I easily fixed myself: - Wobbly: Purchased some L brackets and a straight bracket to brace each leg and Alan from the back to sides. This eliminated a lot of the wobbly feeling in the bed. Cost was less than $8 for everything at the hardware store. - Ladder could only mount on left side despite directions. I was able to mount it on the right easily by modifying things a little bit. Pretty sure anyone with some common sense would be able to do it also. Overall I am very happy with the bed. My son loves it and the price can't be beat. Do yourself a favor and buy the L braces to help with the shaking.
