Some of the least expensive bunk beds are made of metal, and like most things, you get what you pay for. The reason we no longer carry metal bunk beds is because of all the inherent flaws that that type of construction has. Below are some of the common issues you'll find with metal bunk beds.
Also, as the cost of metal has sky rocketed, manufacturers in China keep using thinner gauges of to keep the price down, which just exacerbates the problems listed above. There is just no comparison from metal to wood. So if you're seriously thinking of purchasing a metal bunk bed, this should give you something to think about. I cannot speak for other manufacturers of wood bunk beds, but I know every bunk bed we sell meets the ASTM Safety Requirements. Lisa Buschlen Bunk Beds & Loft Beds Galore The benefits of bunk beds.Posted Jun-18-07 22:30:16 PDT Updated Jun-18-07 22:34:14 PDT Besides the "cool factor" of bunk beds, there are several practical benefits to choosing one for your child's bedroom. First, quality bunk beds can last your child from early childhood through college. Since most bunk beds can be down-stacked into two twin beds, your child can begin enjoying his/her new room even if they are still not old enough to manage climbing up to the top bunk. As your child grows, you can stack the twin beds into the bunk bed formation, thereby freeing up valuable floor space for a desk, since by this time your child will most likely have plenty of homework to do - much to their dismay. :) Second, the space-saving features of bunk beds are unparalleled. You can sleep two in the same amount of space that you would normally be able to put a twin bed. With today's homes and their small bedrooms, this is a huge benefit. Third, as long as you buy a quality bunk bed, you will have no trouble selling it at a later date if you decide your child is ready for something else. Lisa Buschlen Bunk Beds & Loft Beds Galore |
