Solid Wood Bunk Beds

I've said it before and I'll say it again, when choosing a bunk bed go for something robust. As household furniture goes bunk beds are vulnerable to damage due to the number of different joints, size and height etc. You want a sturdy bed so that when your kids swing about and pretend it's a fort the bed can take it. That's part of the reason that buying solid wood bunk beds is a good idea. Hard woods are, surprise, surprise, hardy and less likely chip or warp or disintegrate at the joints and that's exactly what you need if you want to get any longevity out of your bunk bed.

I'm not saying you have to buy a bed made out of an incredibly pricey hard wood like mahogany, that would be way over the top. Pine is a good choice as long as you go for a decent quality, although it is actually a soft wood it's strong enough. If you can afford oak and can find a manufacturer then that would be ideal. Just make sure it is solid wood and not some cheap chip board product.
