Cheap Kids Bunk Beds

Here's what you need to think about before buying a cheap kids bunk bed. First and foremost are you going for a cheap model because you don't expect your kid to use the bed for very long and therefore it's not worth spending too much? Or are you going down that avenue because you're a little short of cash? If it's the first option then fair enough, there's no point buying an expensive bunk bed if it's only going to get used for a year. There's not much resale value for you in household furniture, so don't waste your money.

If, however, your choice is dictated by your available budget then I would ask you to consider a longer term economic view. A cheap bunk bed will not last you the five to eight years you might want to use it for. It's going to get bashed about and if the structure is not well made, that's to say more expensive, then that's when bunk beds fall apart and get dangerous. For myself I would either look to invest a bit more money or abandon the idea of a bunk bed in favour of two twin beds.
