Donco Kids Study & Sleep Twin Cappuccino Low Loft Bed

I bought 2 of these low loft beds for my boys ages 12 and 9!!! Originally I was canvassing IKEA, but prices and availability to be delivered from the Atlanta location halted that purchase several times. So, after nearly 3 months of that non-sense I gave up and ended up finding these instead. SCORE!!!! I was immediately sold. I was interested in buying loft beds with desks for my 2 boys in their shared room in our new home. Several things sold me with this purchase.....it was a loft, slide out desk, dresser drawers, and a bookshelf!!! We have hardwood floors and ceiling fans, so the height was instantly hazard free for those issues as far as falling off or reaching up! Boys will be boys! As I already stated, a desk was my main concern, but with this bed it was like getting 2 free gifts....a bookshelf and 3 dresser drawers too!!! The boxes are quite large and extremely heavy. The shipment of all boxes came 2 different days back to back, but earlier than expected. The boxes were sealed securely and undamaged. The bed frame wood is solid, sturdy and has a nice finish to it. The dresser drawers and bookshelf are easily removable and interchangeable. In the picture I posted the dresser drawers are pushed back to show that they're not attached to the frame. The desk is attached and slides in and out with no friction. The desk is actually bigger than pictured in the advertisements, which was another plus. The drawers are deep and holds quite a bit of clothing. I was pleasantly pleased and extremely satisfied with this purchase all the way around. The mattress size is a standard twin, which of course is not included. I opted to buy Signature Sleep foam mattresses that were recommended for these beds. Another great purchase....might I add!! I also added the protection plan and expert assembly with my purchase too!! I am so happy I went that route instead of trying to man handle those beds myself, because the boxes alone are super heavy. It was pretty time consuming as well....4 - 5 hours for 2 people to complete both beds!!! They were awesome and I would hire them again and again and again to assemble future purchases. Oh...let me add when you order the beds they say they only offer 1 assembly per customer, but I emailed the techs and actually you can have more than 1 done for an additional charge which is the same assembly fee per bed. Just be sure to give them a heads up in advance during the appointment scheduling. I chose to completely clear out the bedroom which I also advise. They or you will need all the room you can to lay things out for a less constricted workspace. All in all.....I very highly recommend these beds and would give it 10 stars!!!

Love this bed design, makes my daughters tiny bedroom much more workable and have the appearance of having more space than it truly does. The dark color looks exactly like the picture! The bed even came early when it was shipped!! And while I love the bed…there are a few things I was disappointed about, such as the sturdiness…It’s easier to damage/break than I was expecting of a wooden bed frame. The guard rail is super thin and the dark brown color wood vaneer can be scraped off very easily…(was so mad seeing that my 8yr old was able to do so) the desk under the bed was a little tricky as we weren’t given a set of screws and had to run to Home Depot to get the missing screws. The stop pegs that sit in the frame to keep the desk from going tooooo far back into the frame are simple soft wood pegs that break really easily.The only reason we had as easy of a time getting it put together was because my in-law came by to help and he used to work at a furniture store as an merchandiser (he put the furniture together in-store) yet it still took three adults to get it assembled.Even once done putting it together and all set up, I wouldn’t recommend letting more than two kids up on the bed at a time and maybe I’m just a worry wart, but all the wooden planks are thin! Not even half the dimensions of a 2x4…even thought we screwed them all in and down, the bed frame shakes a LOT when the kid climbs into bed at night!!!!All in all, you get what you paid for, a cheap bed off Amazon instead of going to a furniture store…

This is a great bed frame for the price. The material feels quite sturdy. Obviously, the loft design with bookshelf, dresser, and pull-out desk means you get to maximize your space in a small room. There's additional space underneath the bed that kids can use as a "secret base," I've attached a little clip-on desk lamp there.I purposely chose a loft bed that was not very tall, which makes it much easier for me to carry my son and place him in the bed, if we return home late and he has fallen asleep in the car. Imagine having to climb up one of these ladders while carrying a kid!Assembly was time consuming, but straightforward. The instructions were mostly pictures that were simple to understand. My only complaint about the assembly is that most of the included Philips screws do not have accompanying pre-drilled holes, and since you're told not to use power tools in the instructions, you're left with needing to use a lot of manual labor to try and screw them in, some in places where you'd be blocked by adjacent boards that make it difficult to apply strength.Another issue I encountered (which the seller quickly resolved after contacting them) was that, one of the drawer board pieces had a slotted groove that was not cut properly--it was not level, which meant the drawer bottom could not be installed properly--when I tried to force the drawer bottom in and assemble the rest, the drawer could not be fully pushed in to the dresser. The seller sent me a replacement board that was cut properly, now everything works.The lack of pre-drilled holes for screws, and needing to get replacement parts (despite the fact that the seller sent the replacement quickly), comprise the reason why I rated this item 4 instead of 5 stars. It's still a great product, but would have been perfect (for the price) if I didn't have to deal with those issues.My son loves it, by the way.Pros: Decent, sturdy material; space-saving features; straightforward assembly; not too tall; seller responds quicklyCons: Lacks some pre-drilled holes; assembly takes time (understandably)
