DHP Junior Loft Bed, Space-Saving Metal Frame, Black Finish, Ideal for Younger Children

We got this low loft bed for our 6 and 4 year olds. Originally, they wanted a bunk bed, but I wasn’t comfortable with how high the top bunk usually is, especially since my oldest is an active sleeper and also the type to jump off everything. This low loft gives them the feel of bunk beds without that same risk. I also specifically wanted enough clearance underneath so my 4 year old wouldn’t feel like he was crawling into a submarine bunk. We’re using a twin mattress on the floor underneath (since this is technically a loft, not a bunk) and it works perfectly. For reference, the bottom mattress is 10.5" thick and still has about 27.5" of headroom before the top bars. The top mattress is 7" thick and leaves about 3" of railing, which felt a little low for us so we added an old toddler bed rail for an extra ~4" of safety while our oldest adjusts. We chose a metal frame after seeing too many reviews of wooden beds that cracked during assembly, and I’m glad we did. It feels sturdy enough for their ages, and the price point made it an easy choice since we will eventually separate them into their own beds and repurpose the space below into a storage or play area. My husband was able to easily assemble this himself and he used screw lock so we won’t have to keep retightening anything. No squeaking so far. It does have a slight wobble, but nothing concerning -- we don’t feel like it’s unstable or at risk of tipping. A couple things to note: - The ladder can only be installed in one position, so plan your room layout carefully. In our case, my son has to climb in from the head of the bed instead of the foot. - I saw reviews mentioning the ladder rungs hurting feet. My son says they’re fine, but as an adult, I agree they’re painful. We considered adding pool noodles, but they spun around and didn’t feel safe for a kid still learning to climb. - We did add a pool noodle to the bar above the lower bed to prevent head bumps when getting up at night and I definitely recommend that! - I’m 5’4” and can easily lean in to say goodnight without climbing. We might be adding something under the bottom mattress (like a thin piece of plywood) to lift it off the floor a bit, but it’s not strictly necessary. Overall, this has been a great, budget-friendly option that feels much safer as far as height goes than a traditional bunk bed while still giving the kids the fun they wanted. I also want to just add that my boys sleep very hot and don't like blankets, since in the photo the beds look incomplete. I strive to give honest, unbiased and helpful reviews -- I hope this information was useful!

Had for over a month now. Absolutely LOVE it for my 5 yr old. Wanted something to help free up some space in her room for toy area and this worked perfect. She can play and have toys under. Bed is short enough I didnt have to worry about a high fall. Bed was very simple and straight forward to put together. My husband had it done in less than 2 hrs, did it by himself other than needing help holding something every now and then. The bed does make creaking noises when moving around but nothing excessive. My kid loves it and im happy with the quality and price!

Wow I am so blown away by the quality of this loft bed!! I think it is so well built. I have had other bed frames that have metal slats but they would just be poles that have nothing to prevent them from moving but this bed frame has locks on the slats that keep them in place! The bed frame does move slightly if your kid is jumping on it but that’s to be expected. I bought two bed frames and putting the first one together took me a while because putting the locks on the slats really hurt my fingers but everything aligned perfectly. Only thing I will say is that the instructions were okay I wish they were a bit better. The bed frame fits a twin mattress perfectly and the rails are a good height. I love the way the bed looks and my kids love the space underneath. I think the ladder hurts my feet but my kids have no issues climbing up. Overall I would recommend this bed for your kiddos if you have limited space in your house and low ceilings. 10/10 can’t wait to decorate under the beds.

May be a little early for this review but if anything changes I can come back and edit. This is the very first bed I have gotten for my son, who is 5. He has had to share a bed with me (mom) out of necessity/lack of room, but now that he is older, I really wanted him to have his own bed. I'm a single mom and have 3 kids, and we live in a small 2 bedroom apartment. So I liked that this bed saved space and seemed "fun" like he would want to play in it. It was also reasonably priced at $120 (for the blue color). I also live in a small town and there is virtually no selection for furniture here so I would have to order online. Nowhere shipped furniture here without a huge shipping cost, except Amazon. I was stunned when I discovered I could order this bed and have it shipped free!!! I'd never ordered something large like this from Amazon but there were so many good reviews I decided to give it a shot. So far, I'm glad. It's only been a few days but things are well. The bed arrived in just a few days and was pretty easy to put together. My kids were ecstatic about this bed (two 10 year olds plus my son.) They all helped put it together and afterward it was like instant playtime. They made a fort out of the bottom and hung blankets like curtains. They have spent hours playing in there (normally they set up chairs to make forts with blankets, which is a pain to put away when they are done.) I love how they can just leave this "fort" all the time! And easily move toys in and out for new play ideas. As for the sleeping part, I got a Modway Aveline memory foam mattress, also from Amazon. So far my kids love it. In fact they have all been trying to get on the bed and saying they want one, trying to steal it from my son! I don't like them all being up there though because the bed does seem a bit wobbly. I don't think it is going to fall apart but it does wobble a bit (my son weighs about 50 lbs, I weigh about 115 and we sat on it together and it does wobble some, which would be distracting to me as an adult, but seems ok for the kids.) That is the only real reason for less stars on this review. BUT, given that it is made of small metal strips, I didn't expect it to be solid as a rock. Also like others mentioned there is a HUGE ugly warning sticker on the top rail, which is annoying but can be lived with/covered with a pillow. Others said the ladder hurt their feet, for me it was uncomfortable, but my kids go up and down, up and down, and don't care, haven't mentioned it once. It's also not super tall, I am 5'4 and can hug/kiss him goodnight when he is in bed, so it is not so tall to be scary (like some bunk beds). Overall, I like this bed because it saves major space and my kids think it's great. They are happy, so I am happy. Also it felt good to give my son something of his own that didn't completely break the bank. I think he will be happy with this for a long time, so long as it holds up.

Very sturdy and easy to put together!

I was pleasantly surprised. I listened to the reviews and am very happy we bought. It was easy to put together. Over an hour but the pieces fit easily and once we got going everything went smooth . The bed is sturdy and there were extra pieces just in case. My kid loves it and it has opened up their small bedroom and made lots of space to move. The space underneath is perfect and can be used for lots of different purposes. I would definitely recommend.

I'm very happy with the quality and the sturdiness of this loft bed. Instructions were straightforward and all parts labeled. Very minimal squeaking. I feel like the heavy wood bunk of my youth creaked and groaned more than this one. I would definitely buy again.

Amazing and sturdy bed. Definitely recommend for a toddler.

Bien que très lourd, ce lit double est bien solide. Point négatif, la mezzanine n’est pas très haute: adapter seulement au petit enfant et les protèges chutes sont court alors pour matelas de 4 ou 5 »

We ordered these beds a year ago and they are still in great shape. I ordered the full size. I like the height of these loft beds because my boys are in basement bedrooms and the ceilings are low. It gives enough space under the beds for storage to free up the rest if the room. My sons use this space for their dressers and sport gear storage. I would reccomend thses beds especially of you need to maximize a small bedroom. There is some creaking of the frame but most bed frames do that and we put pool noodles on the ladder bevause the bar hurts your feet when climbing down.
