Does the desk part of this bed have to be assembled? Looking for a loft bed in this style but the desk is not needed. (For use with my 5 year old.)

The desk seems to be an integral part of the bed. Most likely it provides support, though I don't know that for sure. I wouldn't recommend this model if you don't want the desk. There are plenty of loft beds out there without the desk. It's also very high up, higher than I thought, so I wouldn't recommend it for a 5 year old. My daughter is a teenager and loves it. Also, I'd re-think getting a loft for a child who's five. You won't be able to sit on the edge of the bed and talk before lights out, and you won't be able to easily read to your child and tuck the child in.

Yes the desk need to be assembled and this takes about 2hrs with help. The box is about the same in lenght as the desk.

Yes the bed requires full assembly, but with some help, It should take about an hour to assemble. The directions are not too difficult to follow, so on a scale of 1 to 10 for difficulty, I rate it at 4, but that's because I don't like to follow instruction...This is my second time and my sons and I assembled both beds.

The answer from Laurie was correct. I did want to tell you how awesome this desk is. It's very sturdy it doesn't take up a lot of space. It has plenty of room to sit underneath & the keyboard tray works great and it's sturdy too. Then assembly was easy and I did it myself but I decided not to put that top shelf on and the desk is very spacious on top now. I love this desk!

It does need assemble. The book case part and under bed storage part are assembled.

No Paul, it isn't. The way the bed is designed and the fact the desk pulls out, it won't let you. I hope this helps :)

The back is finished except for the piece where the computer tower goes. That part comes with a cardboard backing that has to be nailed in, with the little pop out holes for wires. I didn't use that backing as it's flimsy and the nails literally were breaking as we tacked them in. However, I put the desk against the wall. So if you're able to line up the carboard correctly (the fit of it wasn't great either), and don't mind the cardboard tower area back--it's colored to match the desk--you should be okay to have the back showing.

First of all, I love this bed I purchased for my granddaughter. I felt comfortable being on top as I made the bed several times and I am 150 +. I think my granddaughter is around 80#. It's a nice piece of furniture and I think you can purchase as just a loft. There should be options to choose from. I hope this helps.

There is some assembly, but I wouldn't consider it too difficult. The headboard is one piece, the footboard is one piece and they are attached by assembling the middle pieces in between and then screwing down the bed slat supports. The hardest part is moving the pieces around as they are large and heavy. I have a very small bedroom, so it was a little difficult to move the pieces in the right place in order to assemble. But overall, the number of assembly steps isn't bad because you don't have to assemble all the drawers and such (just attach knobs).

They have to built at the same time because you have screw the hutch to a piece on the computer desk before the desk is completely out together. The only thing I can suggest is to take the desk apart up until the point the hutch connects. Otherwise it will take some finessing.

The desk was easy to assemble. The assembly directions aren't real clear. I suggest reading all of the directions first and put the pieces where they belong before you actually tighten anything. I hope this helps! My kids love their desks! I bought 2 if them....

Not sure I understand the question. The "desk" is attached to the top bunk frame and is not movable.

I keep my daughters together all the time. The way your have to screw the legs in, I wouldnt want to be dismantling it. The legs are criss crossed over each other and screwed in. I would suggest leaving together. But its a great desk and adjustable legs are awesome.

Yes it can be assembled without the desk. But I am not an engineer nor do I have the bed set up any longer, so I can't verify the stability of the structure without the desk.

When you first get the desk, it needs to be assembled. You do not have to install the rolling part of the desk. However it only has two front legs no back legs so it will not stand alone.

My husband assembled the desk and did not find it difficult but he is very handy. I believe it was assembled in a little over an hour. Husband read directions first.
