Solid wood is a high-quality, natural, “warm”, environmentally friendly raw material.

Among the most popular for manufacturing bunk beds There are different types of wood:

  • Oak, from which products with an unlimited service life are made; they are beautiful, durable and reliable, fit perfectly into any interior, but are quite expensive;
  • High-quality and beautiful structures are made from solid birch, but they are also not cheap;
  • Beech, ash and alder wood have magnificent shades and will decorate any product; their cost is lower than oak and birch;
  • Solid pine is the most common material for manufacturing bunk beds, high quality and the cheapest.

When choosing pine products, you need to pay attention to the fact that it has as few traces of knots as possible, otherwise it will soon begin to deteriorate.

The metal base is strong and durable, while it gives the product a certain lightness and openwork. At the same time, when choosing products whose frame is made of metal, it is necessary to pay attention to the quality of processing of metal elements.

What to pay special attention to when choosing

However, this does not eliminate the need for a thorough check of the selected model.
  1. It is necessary to examine the bottom of the upper sleeping place: it should be made of strong solid wood slats and provide good support for the body.

    For an adult it is determined by weight, for a child – by the desire to jump on the bed.
  2. Among the dangerous elements, the quality of which requires serious inspection, may be the ladder to the second floor floor, if she:
  • Made of poor quality material;
  • Inconveniently located;
  • Manufactured with violations of technology;
  • It has burrs, cracks, and chips, which increases the risk of injury during use.

As a rule, IKEA in Moscow and other cities pays the most serious attention to the quality of the stairs, which practically eliminates problems with its use.
  1. The quality of the material is important, especially the degree of its “maturity”. Raw material “warps” after drying, the bed starts to creak, and deformations are possible. When choosing products made of solid pine, it is necessary to check the surface: on a quality product there should be no traces of knots, or their number should be minimal.

    Otherwise, despite the fact that the product with traces of knots looks quite impressive, it will soon become unusable.
  2. Functionality: the kit includes a full-fledged sleeping place and a desk, boxes, the wardrobe, sofa will determine the use of the product: only for sleeping or for sleeping, work and rest.
  3. It is essential to check the presence and strength of the sides on the second tier, as well as the strength and stability of the ladder leading up.

    If the bed is purchased for adults, it is better if the stairs are located at a certain angle, without creating inconvenience when climbing up to the second floor and descending, which will eliminate the possibility of the structure tipping over.

Dimensions

When choosing a two-tier structure, you must pay attention to its dimensions. If it is purchased for an adult or a teenager, then its parameters should be at least 90x200 cm. It is worth considering that for a child who will still grow, it should be purchased taking into account the additional lengths, at least twenty centimeters.

If the bed is chosen for children, it is important to pay attention to the height of the product.

Considering that not every room has high ceilings, and children, as we know, love to jump on the bed, the bedding may end up right under the ceiling, which can lead to head and spine injuries. Therefore, when buying products For a child, preference should be given to a bed with a height of 160 to 180 cm.

It is important to note that the design in the children's room should not be bulky and "fall out" from the overall interior of the room.
