Introduction
DHP’s Jett Junior (branded Siena at Wayfair) full size metal loft bed is a stylish and practical solution for maximizing space in a child’s room. All circular tubes and rounded corners, with 3 colors to choose from, it’ll fit into pretty much any environment.
The bed is exactly 50 inches high, which makes it ideal for low ceiling rooms or rooms with slanted ceilings, for use by younger kids, or for situations when someone in the family is not comfortable with very high sleeping spaces. Most often that’s one of the parents (yes, dads get jittery about it too), but every now and then it is actually the child who feels out of place sleeping 6 feet above the ground.
The guardrail here is specified at 11.5 inches, which is somewhat on the low side, but it is just enough to accommodate the 6 inch mattress recommended by the manufacturer.
The ladder is angled and protrudes into the room some 10 inches. So it takes up some space and might be a little in the way sometimes, but on the other hand angled ladders are generally considered easier for kids to climb. Those thin rungs aren’t looking very comfortable, though. Then again, there are only 3 of them and kids usually perceive that as less of an issue, being lighter and all. In case it does become a problem, padding is often suggested as a solution. Pool noodles are the most common choice.
There is 36.5 inches of vertical space beneath the bed which, combined with the bed’s full size width makes for a sizable under bed area that can be used either for storage or to create a fun play section or a cozy study nook. Or a little bit of everything, why not.
The Jett Junior Full Metal Loft Bed has a weight capacity of 300 lbs. This is 50% more than its twin size cousin, which was achieved by adding a centered rod to the mattress support system (see below).
This being a full size bed, adding some weight capacity was almost a necessity and it makes this product fully adequate to be used by adults as well. Or, if you’re a bit on the hefty side but would still like to climb up there to have some precious moments cuddling with your child, you can do so without worrying it might not be able to take your weight.
DHP’s Jett Junior Full Metal Loft Bed is available in 3 finishes: silver, black, and white. Note that the price may vary depending on the finish, so be sure to check them out all.
What Users Say
DHP Jett Junior is one very popular low height loft bed: it has over 11000 ratings on Amazon and more than 2400 ratings on Wayfair. On Amazon, the average rating is 4.5 stars, on Wayfair it’s 4.7 stars. Well over three quarters of reviewers gave the bed five stars. On both sites.
The Pros
Build Quality: The majority of reviewers seem to be quite happy with the quality of the product. It has been described as ‘very sturdy’ and ‘really tight and strong.’ One reviewer shared his opinion that these beds are made from well constructed materials and went on to say: ‘Any metal bed I have ever seen has been squeaky and wobbly. Not this.’
Another buyer shared a similar experience: ‘I’m a 160 pound female and I got up there and shook it and it stayed steady firm.’ Yet another wrote: ‘Lots of relatively lightweight parts that fit together to make a sturdy bed.’
Ease Of Assembly: This bed is easy to assemble, there seems to be a consensus about it among buyers. The instructions are said to be straightforward and easy to read and follow. It actually takes an effort to find an opposing opinion. One reviewer called the process ‘super duper easy.’ Another wrote: ‘My husband and I put 2 beds together in about 90 minutes. It is STUPID easy. One of the simplest instruction manuals I’ve seen/used.’
Design: Most buyers love both the looks and the functionality of the Jett Junior loft bed. The height of the bed is described by one mom as just perfect to kiss her child goodnight without having to climb up there. Plenty of reviewers shared their content with how the bed opens up the room. The space underneath gets lots of favorable mentions, no matter what purpose it is used for.
The Cons
Pretty much the only thing that is repeatedly criticized is the ladder. Those thin rungs are apparently quite uncomfortable. However, this seems to bother the parents far more than it does the kids. This quote by one of the buyers sums it up perfectly:
Lord have mercy, the ladder is KILLER on the soles of my feet. It’s SO painful. My son hasn’t complained about it, but he also weighs like 30 pounds.
Other than that, there is an occasional complaint about missing or damaged parts and, inevitably, wobbliness. One reviewer took it to the extreme and wrote: ‘This thing is SO WOBBLY. I mean INSANELY WOBBLY.’ Which, you know, is a little hard to buy. I mean, if ‘this thing’ were really so wobbly the shopping sites would be alight with negative reviews.
Bottom Line
If you are in search for an affordable, good looking and functional full size metal low loft bed you probably need not look any further. This one will do the job. Plus it’s not like there is really much of a selection out there. 🙂
