Wooden Bunk Bed

Here I'd just like to take a minute to praise the virtues of a wooden bunk bed over, say, a metal bunk bed. Wood has warmth and not just when you burn it! The texture and the natural colors, when not painted, just give furniture, and therefore the room, a lived in feel to it and a timelessness that you just don't get with a lot of other materials. The use of metal and plastic materials in furniture, especially with bedroom pieces, tend to give such a modern look that they would look more comfortable in an office environment or somewhere more formal.

Those type of materials adhere closely to fashion and can look dated in a bedroom very quickly. Wooden beds and other bedroom furniture are less likely to go out of style. In fact, while there are many different styles that a piece of wooden furniture can come in, it is much easier to mix and match two different periods of furniture together, if they're made of wood, than it is if you have, say some 70's piece made from a plastic material and an 80's piece made from steel or some other metal. If thats true the it's true for bunk beds too.
