Once you have confirmed that the bunk bed you wish to purchase meets all safety requirements, the fun part can begin! The many options available let you choose a bunk bed that can blend into your decor nicely, no matter what look you are going for. The easiest thing to do is start with the basics and work up to the details. The three main things you are going to have to decide on are Size, Style and Color. For special situations, consider contacting a specialty store such as Bunk Beds etc., the price will rise considerably, but if you are looking for something very specific and just not finding it out there, this is probably your best bet.
However, never equate price with value. A lot of bunk beds will seem like a great value, until you see what they are made of, not only are particle board and MDF not as durable as real wood, but they really are not as sturdy or safe. On the other hand, just because a company is charging you a lot of money for something does not mean the product is somehow better. Bunk Bed King manages to keep prices low and quality high because they deal directly with the manufacturers; the savings of not using a middleman are then passed on to the customer.
Size: The majority of standard bunk beds come in either Twin over Twin or Twin over Full sizes, which will accommodate most situations. Also, look for bunk beds that can convert into separate beds, which give you more flexibility later (as kids grow up or houses get bigger). Make sure to measure your room (don't forget the ceiling!) before purchasing your bunk bed to make sure it will fit comfortably.
Style: Since your bunk bed is also a piece of furniture, of course you will want it to fit in with your existing decor. Bunk Bed King offers a range of styles like the Mission , with its clean, simple lines for a classic look, or the Ranch style, which features simple posts on the head and foot boards. All the styles conform to the same safety regulations and are made of the same Brazilian Pine, so when choosing which particular bunk bed to go for, just pick whichever one you think looks best. (Do not forget to ask the advice of whoever is going to be sleeping in the bunks, too)!
Color: Choosing the color goes along with choosing the style, it is completely up to your taste and other furniture. The Mission style comes in Natural, a light lacquer finish that lets the beauty of the wood shine through, Honey, a warmer golden colored finish and Oak the darkest shade we offer.
