Childrens bunk beds are not only affordable but practical. If you have two children rooming together, then having a childrens bunk bed set up will provide more space in the bedroom. Be sure the one you choose not only matches well with the room decor, but is also safe for the child sleeping on the top bunk.
Children bunk beds can be made from either metal or wood. Prices vary a lot depending on what type of bunk bed you want, where you buy it and what it is made from. Usually metal bunk beds for children are more affordable than their wooden counterparts. A plain metal bunk bed can be bought for anywhere between $200 and $350 at Amazon.com.
If you would prefer a wooden bunk bed for your children’s room, then there are a number of options to choose from. Plain ones with two regular beds and a ladder are the most affordable; you can buy them for anywhere between $250 and $300. Amazon has a large selection of twin over twin and mission style bunk beds in this price range and you can choose a natural, honey, ranch walnut, ranch cherry or cinnamon colored finish.
You can also get a bunk bed with drawers built in; the advantage of such a bunk bed is that it provides extra storage space for your child’s belongings. Keep in mind, however, that these are likely to cost at least over $500. The Twin over Twin Mission Cappuccino with Drawers sells for $455 and is a reasonably priced option; another good choice is the Stairway Bunk Bed Twin over Twin with 3 Drawers Built in selling for $525.
If you find that these prices are a bit over your budget, you may want to consider purchasing a second hand bunk bed. One way to go about this is to type in the phrase ‘used bunk bed children’ in eBay and see what the options are on this site. You can often get a very good deal on a bunk bed that is still in good condition. However, the downside is that you will not be able to see the item you are purchasing until it is shipped to you.
It may be better to buy a second hand bunk bed either from a second hand store in your city or an individual seller. Craigslist and your local newspaper classifieds are both good places to look for people selling such items. You would then be able to see the item in person before purchasing it and ensure that it is still in good condition.
