Modern Bunk Bed With Desk 10 Things I'd Love To Have Known In The Past

Modern Bunk Beds With Desks

Bunk beds that have a desk will help your child feel more organized, and encourage creative play. But they can also be a challenge to purchase especially when you consider the safety aspect.

Some of our favorite options include an angled staircase that is safe and occupies less room, as well as options with a trundle under the bunk in order to accommodate guests who arrive at the last minute.

IKEA KALLAX Bunk Bed

Bunk beds with a desk can be a great method to make the most of your bedroom space, while also adding an individual style. These beds are very popular with teenagers and children, but they can also be used for adult bedrooms to create a study or reading area. They are spacious and have plenty of space for books and accessories. Some models come with a pull-out workstation to make it easy to use, while others come with shelves and desks built in. You can pick modern bunk beds with desks made of metal, wood or other materials, depending on your budget and preferences.

IKEA KALLAX is a popular choice for kids. It comes in a variety of colors and has a simple design that makes it look attractive and functional. It can be used as a single bed, or with a futon in the bottom. The KALLAX also comes with an integrated shelf to store books and toys as well as other things. Some reviewers say that the bunk bed is suitable for adults, but it is important to follow the safety guidelines set by the manufacturer to avoid overheating and falling off the top.

Another option is the IKEA Stora loft bed, which comes with a desk and drawers. It is similar to the design and comes in a range of colors, including pink. Its solid pine construction is sturdy and beautiful, but some reviewers have complained that it takes some time to assemble.

Instagram has a DIY loft-bed that uses IKEA Kallax units to support the mattress and form frames. The creator describes it as a "reading cabin" she created for her daughters. The base is made up of three KALLAX units stacked vertically, and fixed to the ground with four wooden posts. She used a wooden panel to reinforce the steps on the KALLAX unit after hearing "cracks" while climbing the steps. This DIY is ideal for those looking to save money and understand the weight capacity IKEA KALLAX can support.

In general, IKEA loft beds have an extremely positive reception from customers due to their affordable cost and simple assembly instructions. Some customers have complained about squeaks or other issues with durability.

Oeuf Perch Bunk

This bunk bed is modern and minimalist unlike other bunk beds which make a bunk room in the sky feel too childish. A more compact version of the well-known IKEA design, it has plenty of reviews that are awe-inspiring about its durability and versatility. It does require a ceiling height in order to be practical and doesn't appear right in every space.

Designed to grow with kids designed to grow with kids, the Perch Bunk is divided into a loft bed and stand-alone lower twin bed, giving you a variety of configuration options. Its compact footprint leaves plenty of space for play and furnishings. Plus, its angled ladder with safety tread is easy to climb and can be placed on either side of the bunk.

The lower bed can be used for a Montessori floor bed or even a fort, says Oeuf co-founder Sophie Demenge, while the loft layout allows kids to have their own space to play and work from home. If you have a larger space, you can extend the sloped staircase vertically using the Ladder Conversion Kit included.

Fenton says that this bunk made of steel is not only the heaviest on our list but also built to last. "These are bunks that are found in the hotel. They're built like tank." Apart from bunk bed with table , it's also notable for being the most versatile and affordable option on our list (the most affordable bunk bed made of wood we reviewed). Additionally, it's available in 17 colors which makes it a desirable choice for grown-ups and kids.

If you're building a bunk bed for your children or for yourself, the most important thing to a successful design is making sure there's enough head room to be able to comfortably fit both mattresses, and to allow for the upper sleeper to to sit up in bed. We suggest measuring your ceiling height and comparing it with the recommended clearances for each of our selections before you buy. If you have a low ceiling, think about an option that puts the mattress directly on the floor (like this West Elm bunk), instead of floating over it. It is possible to lose some storage space under the bed, but you'll gain more space to read and play.

Room & Board Tanker Bunk

The Room and Board Tanker bunk is an excellent option for those looking to have a bunk that resembles a shoe locker. It comes with a series of steel bars that slide into the holes that have been cut in the bottom of the bunk bed. They are joined by pins made of cotter.

The Tanker Bunk has a built-in table and LED light that clip on the top footlocker. The desk is a bit too small for a bed that has bunks and the bed was in numerous areas of damage when I bought it.

Room & Board Perch Bunk

If you're planning to buy a bunk bed, opt for one that's built for long-term use and can grow with your kids. Choose a sturdy structure and quality materials, like solid wood instead of MDF or particle board.

Also consider whether the ladder will be on the end of the bunk or angled up against the wall. Bunks that have the ladder at the end can leave the bottom of the bunks unlocked, making it easier for children to climb into the bed. Angled ladders are a bit longer and harder to climb but they can take up less space and be more secure for young children.

Pick a bunk bed with built-in storage drawers for the durability. This allows kids to keep toys and blankets away from the view, making the space more organized and neat. The Pottery Barn Kids bunk above has a set of stairs with drawers built in that are ideal for kids and parents alike. Furthermore, this model is GREENGUARD Gold Certified, which means it's passed rigorous tests for chemical emissions and helps to create cleaner air.

If your children tend to be taller you may want to choose a high-low bunk. They feature a top bed a bit higher than the bottom bed which allows your children to spread out as they sleep. They're also an excellent choice for older children who enjoy having some privacy in their room.

If you want your kids' bunk beds to last well into their teen years and beyond, think about getting an extra-long twin or full-over-full mattresses for the upper and lower bunks. The mattresses are comfortable for everyone up to adult size (including adults, eventually) and still fit into the bunks if your children decide to move to separate rooms. Room & Board Perch Bunks, for example, come in twin-over full and twin-over twin options so you can customize it to meet your requirements. It's also GREENGUARD Gold Certified and made from sustainably-sourced birch, so you can rest assured that it is safe for your children.
