Walker Edison Full Size Premium Metal Loft Bed - Silver

We bought this for my son's tight space at college. It is perfect - he was able to fit two dressers underneath, and has lots of extra space behind the dressers for more storage. The bed is very sturdy - no shakiness or noisiness. It took my son and husband about 2 hours to put together, but it wasn't difficult. We bought a twin XL comforter to go on it, as we knew it would be hard to make the bed with a wider one. The twin XL worked well. It covers the edges of the bed, and he doesn't have to fight with it to make it look neat. We are very happy with this purchase!

Since some folks complained of creaking noise, I went to the hardware store and bought silicone washers and graphite. I still used the metal washers that came with the bed, but I also put the silicone ones on BOTH SIDES of each bolt and anywhere else that metal touched metal. I also used a tiny bit of graphite on each bolt before I put them in place, and in those few areas where a piece just fit into a divet. My last trick was in the support for the bottom of the actual bed are...I placed a strip a couple layers thick of foam shelf liner between the middle support bar and the plastic brace bars across the top. And the number one trick, of course, was to tighten each bolt very well! This bed does not make the slightest bit of noise, no matter what we do to it. I do think the manufacturer should add another bracer bar in the back for more stability and include wall anchors in the kit. I have not anchored it to the wall yet, but think I will, as it still has a little too much rocking motion for me. But it's darn sure quiet! I did have to have my husband move the box into the bedroom on a dolly, but my daughter and I had no problems in assembly. The extra steps took us an extra hour because silicone washers & graphite are slippery little buggers, but the extra steps were so worth it! My 12 year old granddaughter loves her new bed!
