There are many different styles of bunk beds, but how do you find the right one for your child ? Well here is some important information to consider before buying a bunk bed
If possible, go to a store and look at a set of bunk beds that are already assembled and see if you like them. Check for sturdiness by placing your hands on the top bunk and do your best to shake the entire set. This is especially important if you are considering a bunk bed made from metal. They're very attractive, but sometimes they aren't built well. If you are planning to order from a catalog to obtain a great price, it is still a good idea to see a similar or actual set prior to placing your order.
Some manufacturers do not recommend their bunk beds for children under six due to the safety considerations. Also there are weight limits on bunk beds so make sure the bed you are considering is strong enough to support the people who will be using it. You should always bear in mind the age of the children sleeping in the top bunk bed and speak to the suppliers or check out the manufacturers guidelines.
Consider purchasing a set of bunk beds that can be taken apart and assembled separately. This feature comes in handy as the children get older and could later serve as guest beds.
We all know we can spend more than we intended when we are shopping so decide beforehand the price you are willing to pay for your bunk and stick to it. This will also mean you don't waste time looking at beds that are too expensive.
There are now so many different styles and types of bunks some made from metal some from wood it is sometimes difficult to make a decision. So before buying have a good look at the decor in the room the bed will be going and this will help you choose the bed that will fit in best.
The size of the children's room makes a difference too. Some bunk beds take more space if they have a double bed on the bottom and a twin size on the top. If space is a concern, two twins that fit one on top of the other might be the best option.
There have been many accidents involving bunk beds and children so safety should be a major consideration when making your purchase. The mattress should be an exact fit and should be properly supported underneath. There should be guardrails all the way around the bed and to ensure the child does not fall off they should extend at least 5 inches above the mattress. Also make sure the bed is not placed near any ceiling fan you may have.
Assembly of the bunk bed is another important consideration. Some of them may appear easy to put together, but they can be difficult once you've begun. Be certain to read the directions in full before beginning your project.
Talk to the seller of the bunk bed about the warranty that accompanies your bunk bed. Make sure to get all of the details in writing at the time of the sale.
When the bunk bed is delivered and before you start to assemble it make sure you check it for any damage. You should also ensure all the parts are working and are not missing. If anything is wrong immediately get back to the supplier and ask them to put the problem right.
