Does anyone have any experience of the Ikea Tromso Loft Bed, with a desk underneath? Thinking of buying one for DS.

Hi, I might be too late to post this, but I would not recommend buying it.
We have just got one. The idea seems great, the shelf and desktop underneath are great, BUT... the bed is terrible!
It is very unstable, it wobbles all over the place. We have our 4 year old son in it, plus me sometimes, and I'm a small person. We have it in a corner, but it could easily sway 4inches to the other side, if we weren't careful! Also, the ladder squeeks and creaks, we've had to tape felt bits under the prongs attached to the bed, otherwise it makes noices at the smallest movement.
It's like sleeping in some old coach on a bumpy road!
We have double checked every bolt and tightened it all up, no better.
It will have to go back to the store.
Apparantely, these loft beds are being discountinued. Ikea are getting new beds in in April 2010, I would wait until then.
All the best, Emma
