Natural Wood Bunk Bed

When we talk about a natural wood bunk bed what we are referring to is a bed constructed from a solid wood, rather than some other sort of composite. Natural wood will cost you more but is of a higher quality then say something made from chip board. Chip board is created by gluing together, under high pressure to compact it, wood shavings and sawdust etc. There are two types of natural wood to choose from, soft or hard woods. The most obvious example of a soft wood is pine and there are certainly many beds mad from this material.

More expensive, but of much higher quality are the hard woods like oak, teak and mahogany. These types of wood are probably a bit over the top for a childs bedroom, save it for yourselves!
It is also worth defining in your own mind what you associate with natural wood for your bunk bed. Are you searching for something that is organic and has been produced in an eco friendly manner or is it not important where the wood comes from?
