It's a loft bed, 3 drawer dresser and book shelf underneath along with extra storage space behind those (they move), a 5 or 6 drawer vertical dresser and a 9 drawer bureau

Dude, no judgement. Your time is definitely worth a lot, and if you don't have it, and you're making the decision to spend the time with your family instead, then kudos to you. That's a good decision.
My knee jerk reaction is to always make things myself. But my kids are older than yours, and I don't work much. I've got time to burn.

well it's also a cost issue, isn't it? a 5 shelf rack unit like the one i linked is just as much, if not cheaper than the cost of 5 shelves. (cheap mdf)

I seem to always be able to build stuff cheaper. Plus, when I build it, it's going to last. And I can put hundreds of pounds on it. So if I needed to store your mom somewhere, I could do it on the shelves I built, whereas the purchased shelves would be questionable.

yea, then 200 seems to be the going price for heavy duty racks
AmazonBasics Heavy Duty Shelving Single Post Steel Wire Shelf, 60 x 24 x 78, Aluminum
i mean i personally never liked the wire rack look, feels too "industrial"
recommend checking fb yardsale, since stores and restaurants use them they are pretty common.
i bought one of these and it's done well, it's not heavy duty but i've had ~100 lbs on a shelf and i'd say that was max.

welp, this video is saying i should get some wagner paint eater, since i don't want so many tools, i can just get the 3m disc for drills, then i guess just caulk, primer, sand and two coats of non flat exterior paint. (cuz flat will crack)

Good call. I could've sworn I had seen them cheaper before but whatever. We need a lot of shelving in the basement so the idea of $200 a pop doesn't excite me
Here's what $3k for a bedroom set for the kid looks like. Honestly it should last him through his teenage years. The bed he will out grow but we'll have 3 kids going through it

Can the ladder be moved to the other end without undoing screws or bolts on the rail? I mean, its close to the radiator. Even if it doesn't affect the ladder too much, your kid will go up and down it right next to that thing in the winter.
Also for shelving, keep in mind that anything wood-related (say you want a metal frame with wooden planks in it) I think can be pre-cut at Home Depot or Lowes if you bring them the wood and the measurements you want.

They even sell laminated mdf/shelf boards; go to amazon and buy a roll of 3/4" laminate with adhesive backing (apply with an iron) to laminate the exposed/cut edges.

I mean that's super fancy.
I hit it with sandpaper, caulk if it needs it, maybe sand the caulk flat maybe not because white trash life, and then use a brush when I do outdoor trim.
Two coats is always a good idea.

From what I gather you just don't want the ladder on the headboard, not sure why a company would design it with the ladder at the head.
When a person rolls they roll upper body. While rare, it is possible that a kid could roll off the bead with the ladder at the head.
I know my kid would 100% roll off a head based ladder bunk since I've walked in a couple times and seen him, legs still on the bed, head on the floor, asleep.

It's adjustable , we'd just have to redo it. Just a ladder midroom sucks
