Is this bed strong enough to hold adults?

No, I bought this. I'm an 18 year old and I weigh roughly 140ish. It doesn't hold my weight. It comes with very few bunkie boards and no instructions. I wish I had never bought it. If I had kids I wouldn't even let them sleep in it. Everytime I got in the bed I fell though, I wouldn't even try getting on the top bunk.

I wouldnt suggest it for anyone over 180. I had to go to lowes for extra boards to reinforce it. The boards they send with the bed arent strong enough to hold the matress. Other than that I love it. If you decide to get it, it is worth it. Just take 1 board to lowes and have them cut extras.

Bought these for my 5 and 3yr old kids and have on occasion slept on the bottom bunk. It felt sturdy. I would however definitely reinforce the planks that come with the bed for added security. Hope this helps

Simple answer yes it has held an adult and child while putting my boys to bed. However to meet the mattress requirements we use bunkey mattresses and they are too thin to be very comfortable and we also added plywood under the top bunk to make it more sturdy as the boards that hold up the mattress flex quite a bit under weight. I would not want to sleep on it daily and not sure if it is sturdy enough to hold up to adult use for long.

This bed is for children. I replaced the thin wooden slats with 1 by 4 lumber, and placed a sheet of 3/8 inch plywood over the slats. The slats are secured into the side rails with screws so they will not slip out of place. A person of over 100 pounds should occupy the lower bunk.

Hi, I would say if you got stronger slats, yes. But within a week of putting together the beds, one of the slats on the upper bed broke in half. The child sleeping on top didn't even weigh 50 lbs.

Yes, I would think under 200 lbs. would be good. I've laid on the top bunk (160lbs.) and felt secure.

When we got it we took one of the support boards for under the mattress to Home Depot and had them cut 5-10 more boards to support the mattress more. If you did that to reinforce the bed mattress or use a piece of plywood under the mattress, you should be fine

Hello, the bed can easily hold 280 pounds. I have 3 of these beds and they have been used by children and adults. The adult males are rather tall and heavy. And one of the beds is being used by two adults with a combined weight of about 300 pounds. I hope this helps you.

I would think so, but haven't tried it out with two adults yet. I think the frame is strong enough.

We use the top bunk occasionally when my teenage son's friend come for a sleep over. I can tell you that because of the layout of the bed, where the desk and the side cupboard are the actual support of the top bed and because of the structure of the top bed and how it's build, I can tell you that it is really sturdy. I would assume that a heavier than average person could be easily supported.

I would think the bed could hold 250 pounds. I may be off a little, but definitely an adult male.

We got this bed for our granddaughters (ranging in age from 3 to 7) so I'm not sure how it would do with an adult overnight. It seemed to hold us just fine during assembly, but I think I'd use a piece of plywood as extra support under the mattress if it was going to be for adult use.

My husband is around 200-210 lbs and he has slept on it before, but he didn't feel entirely sure about it. :) It was only for a few nights. The bed was okay and nothing broke, but he said any more weight than that might not be a good idea. I'm about 140 and have slept on it, no problem. I think an adult weighing 180 should be fine in terms of what the bed can handle, but they may not feel secure / supported enough.

It's very sturdy. It would definitely hold two average sized adults without a problem.

The bunk beds are strong enough for adults to sleep on with a good size mattress if your 5"or shorter but if you like to move around then I wouldn't advise it. I purchase this for my kids my oldest daughter is 15 and she's still growing. I need to get a longer one for her. Hope this answer your question.

some adults use it occasionally in our house and it is perfectly fine and sturdy! I would say no one over 200 lbs. has tried it out since we got it so I don't know about that.

It can def support an adult, I am 130lbs. My brother has used it as well and he's 175lbs.

No, it is not strong enough for an adult. It's made out of cheap and flimsy plastic. DO NOT buy this piece of junk!

I'd say it's sturdy enough for the average adult. I can't say what the weight limit is. My wife uses it at her vanity and sometimes has a child on her lap and it does fine.

Space wise it would seat two adults but don't think it would really work for the strength

this bed is VERY sturdy!! I would guess 2 adults at average weight of 180-250 lbs each.... will be fine. The frame on this bed (platform) is spaced very close together.

I'm 175lbs. It can handle 2 people, but doesn't feel very strong. It would also depend on the weight of your mattress. It's a minimalist bed.

It depends on how big he is. I don't really think this bed is a great choice for adults. I have slept on it from time to time (I'm a woman, 135 lbs) and it's okay, but I don't think it would be great for somebody much bigger than that. I just don't think it is sturdy enough to really work well for adults on a regular basis. I have two of these and my kids are 8 and 4 and it's great for them.
