Whats the overall weight of one of their units?
As you might imagine, I’ve done my research when it comes to loft beds. With cues on what works and what does not, I’ve learned a few things over the years, achieving a design I truly believe to be the best combination of super-sturdiness, high quality, and overall value in the loft bed market today. At first glance, a loft bed appears to be a simple structure; one that a fair handyperson can build in their home workshop. Admittedly, loft bed design is not rocket science (I don’t claim to be that smart…:-) ), but there are quite a few things that separate a higher quality loft bed from the rest. Let’s take a closer look at what makes a truly SOLID loft bed: Wood Characteristics – There are literally hundreds of species of wood, but the choices are typically simplified by its regional availability. Some of our first models were made of an Eastern White Pine, abundantly available in the Northeast. While this material was serviceable, I decided to search for a harder and more durable wood

Let’s take a closer look at what makes a truly SOLID loft bed: Wood Characteristics (UPDATE: We now use furniture-grade Douglas Fir. If you’re curious, however, feel free to read the following for some historical perspective on what we’ve used in the past.) – There are literally hundreds of species of wood, but the choices are typically simplified by its regional availability.
