Just completed building a loft for my kid.
#13
What? No tenon and mortise joinery? My son would've snapped mere bolts on day one. 
I practice the art of overkill in furniture design..
If those bits of hardware begin to loosen up you can always bore through the 4x lumber and pound in hardwood dowels and it ain't going anywhere.. 
I don't trust 2x lumber by itself. I'd rip them into narrow strips and laminate them back together for real stability..
Oh wait..it's an 8 year old kid sleeping on it, not the red army.. lol
