Buying a bunk bed should not be a window shopping type purchase. You must do your research before handing over your credit card number to the store. Be sure to shop many different stores both online and brick and mortar.
Just because Bunk Beds look great doesnt mean that they will be safe and secure and built with quality materials and craftsmanship. After all, it is our children that will be sleeping and playing on them so you need to educate yourself on what to look for.
The first decision you need to make is what type of bed you want your children to have, a bunk, loft, triple, twin, wood or metal. Second is the safety of the bunk bed. After you have reached your bedding type then consider the following safety checklist when shopping:
Find a dealer you can trust. Make sure they stand behind their products and can answer any questions regarding the safety of the bed.
Find out the weight limits on the bunk bed you want to purchase. Last thing you need is to get the bunk bed home and assembled to later find out that the bunk cant handle the required weight.
Find out if the bottom of the bed frames has enough room for a box spring mattress...
