I just ordered my loft plans, and was very pleased to see easy to understand directions, with all of the tools and materials needed written out in a very clear way. Amazon had made a mistake with the shipping option, and the very next day, I recieved an email from the president of the company telling me that the discrepancy had been completely taken care of. **There is no shipping of the plans, you will recieve an email with a link to all of their loft layouts**

Overall, I would highly recommend these lofts!

Go to to oploftbed.com. They are the true authors of these plans plus they sell the bolts cheap. You only have to buy the lumber at hd or lowes. They also have pictures and reviews of people who actually have assembled these beds.

The plans were received via email as the seller mentioned. However, the major problems with it are 1) the drawings are not particularly clear to the novice as to how exactly each board would fit into the pattern. I would suggest using actual photographs as guides to show each step of the process. And 2) there's no mention that the bolts used for the plan (3 7/16") are NOT easily found. I checked 7 different hardware stores in the Chicago area and not one had them in stock. They would have to be special ordered. The cheapest I could find the bolts for order were for $8 apiece. If I followed the plans as written buying just those bolts alone would cost OVER SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS! This plan, as written, will not save you very much money.

If you search free loft bed plans on google, you can find very detailed and easy to follow instrutions, for FREE. While these plans are probably fine, the ones I found on [...] worked very well and didn't cost a dime.

I purchased this loft bed because I was tight on money, and I had the time to build it. In the beginning of the instruction manual, the instructions are very clear. They provide how many screws you need, the thickness and length of the screw, and they give tips on how to save money when you're purchasing your wood. Then you get to the diagrams, and the confusion begins - and you will have to use the diagram for the measurements because the beginning of the instructions don't provide detailed enough measurements. Some of the boards on the same side of the bed are not the same length (at the same 'layer'). In addition, there are no construction steps - none detailed at all! There are diagrams that show you how the bed should look from different angles and cross sections, but the diagrams are also very stick-like Paint Software drawings. You're also not paying $.50 for the plans - you will be redirected to another sight where you pay the full price. I've been trying to build my bed, but I realize that I still have a lot of cutting to do to make sure this bed fits together well enough. Thank you for six different measurements of the same piece of wood!

I ordered these plans on August 3 2010,It is aug 20,2010 and have NEVER received them!!!! I will NOT buy ANYTHING from this seller.
