How to Buy a Bunk Bed - Quick Guide on How to Buy a Bunk Bed for Your Kids' Bedroom Modern bunk beds are very different form years past. When I was a kid, a bunk bed was more or less a twin size bed on top another twin size bed with a ladder to reach the top bunk. I loved my bunk bed!

This bunk bed safety feature also adds new space for drawers and storage under the staircase. On the opposite side facing the bed, many even have a book rack for those bed time...more
