Farmhouse Storage & Play Loft

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, 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!

This bed is a great buy! I searched for a LONG time for a bed for my 3 year old, and while this one was a little more expensive than others, I loved the look/idea. It did take some time to put together (my spouse and I did it in about 4 hours with power tools), but it is VERY sturdy, strong, quality material and looks amazing. It fits well even if not so huge bedrooms, has some great storage space and the little cubby underneath is so fun and even cuter with a set of lights ;-) If you are thinking about this bed, get it!!

Fantastic bed with innovative design, I was surprised on how sturdy the bed came out to be. I will say the instruction manual gives minimal help so if you’re not savvy on these kinds of things it might be difficult. Power tools recommended! As for the bad, the only thing is that the paint on this bed is low quality. Maybe needs another coat of paint. Other then that my duaghter enjoys her new bed!

Okay my son absolutely loves this bed, but be warned, it comes in A MILLION pieces. It took us about 3 hours to put together, but once it was finished we were extremely happy with it. The instructions are pretty easy to follow, there are just a lot of little pieces. It is comfortable to lay on and very sturdy. I have no worries that it will hold my son as my husband laid on the bed with him and it had no problems holding them both. It does have the fresh wood smell at first but that fades quickly. My son also loves the little playhouse area underneath. We were hesitant to spend this much on a bed but we are very happy we did.

First of all, great bed. Solid, sturdy, well made. All solid pine except for the bookshelf backing, which was still good quality, not flimsy. Second: forewarning - it took me almost 9 hours to put this thing together. Yes, my 5 year old was home, and more bored than he has been in his entire life, even with a movie on, unlimited snacks, and also "helping" me. I took several breaks. I am exhausted. But he loves it so it's worth the struggle. TIP: USE A DRILL FOR THE SCREWS. Doesn't call for it in the manual but it will save your hands. Great bed but cheezus crust.

It's hard to give a great review on a bed I can't assemble. One piece is wrong after we opened it, and after calling and emailing for nearly a month to Max & Lily, we're finally told the incorrect piece is out of stock. I understand these types of mistakes happen, but I shouldn't have to badger the company through email and phone calls to give me this update. So my child is sleeping on the floor on a mattress still. We had wonderful plans to have a brand-new "big boy" room for him on his birthday, and now it seems we won't even have that for Christmas. I'm incredibly disappointed in the lack of communication and customer service from this company. No eta in sight and the pure lack of communication really has me nervous this will ever be resolved.

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

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!

Love this bed. Fairly easy to put together with 2 people.

Amazing bed, 3 year old absolutely loves it. Kids play in the spot underneath all the time
