Everything went smoothly, even when we had to change the height of the bed platform once we got the frame into my son’s dorm room - after carrying it up to the fifth floor! It’s very sturdy, and very useful. Sorry I don’t have any better pictures, but here’s the bed in the dorm room:

We opted to use regular nuts instead of the wing nuts specified in the plans. Some of the tolerances were a bit tighter, so I used a locknut instead of a nut and a lockwasher. We found using the nuts with a wrench and socket was easier than turning a bunch of wingnuts by hand or using a pair of pliers on them.

FYI - we saw a lot of other loft kits being used at the dorm, including one sold by Lowes, and they were very flimsy comparatively. I don’t know that I would have felt secure with them. I pulled and yanked on the OP loft once my son and I had it finished, and it just won’t budge.

Total cost was around $125.
